Lioness (2023)
Better than 1883
An Action/Drama delivering just that. Binge worthy series - as good
as anything out there. On the dramatic front we find a group
of characters with stressful professions (Spooks and surgeons)
trying to simultaneously juggle thier roles of parents and spouses.
As a kid I always wondered why law enforcement officers always
wore rough expressions across thier face. I'm guessing it is
the same reason these actors do. Absorbing the dangers and darkness of society. To me it is an profound essay on responsibility.
It's interesting being a fly on the wall in sub-cultures I would otherwise have no access to. The White House, operating rooms, and unpassable red velvet ropes reserved for the one-percenters. It seems apparent Sheridan did his R&D in these worlds he has brought to screen.
The vibe of the series is unique, something between a Chris Mundy, Low Winter Sun and a David Fincher film. As far as the action sequences go, they fight for screen time with the drama and when they do have thier moment, play out in what I would imagine to be realistic manner and never gratuitous.
Of course the cast and production are great as most Paramount Plus originals are. This series has an almost 8 Star rating which is pretty good according to the 8,500 voters at the time of writing this.
Never thought I'd say this, but it might be better than 1883,
or maybe tied, heck you decide.
