Citadel: Diana is here. It’s hard to fathom how Prime Video’s massive, bloated disappointment Citadel inspired enough confidence to warrant several spinoffs in the coming months. The original series dropped with much buzz and fanfare, mainly due to the “from the Russo Brothers” stamp of approval and the presence of two attractive megastars.

However, as much as you might want to get lost in the eye candy of Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden (and join Stanley Tucci in the “bald brotherhood”), everything about Citadel was overblown, overwrought, and overdone—yet undercooked, like that gorgeous holiday goose that never thaws.

Citadel: Diana, however, is different. Prime Video’s attempt to expand its reach into other markets—à la Netflix—benefits from scaling down the cast, giving characters more engaging arcs, and using special effects in small, effective doses. It also helps to have a breakout star like Matilda De Angelis.
