Worth Watching?: Special Ops: Lioness Season 1

 


Is Paramount+'s summer hit series, Special Opd: Lioness, worth watching? Here are my thoughts.

There has been a heavy promotion for the latest Taylor Shedian series, Special Ops: Lioness, from the summer to early fall. While seeing and hearing of a new series from Sheridan is exciting, it might only live up to some of the hype. 

Lioness is about a CIA team led by Joe, played by Zoe Saldana, who recruits a rookie marine, played by Laysla De Oliveria, to help befriend the daughter of a terrorist they want to eliminate. 

I enjoyed this series's performance from the star-power ensemble cast from Saldana and De Oliveria, including Jill Wagner, Dave Annable, and Nicole Kidman. There were also some incredible action scenes.

But the issue is the story, mainly the secondary story with Joe balancing her job and her family drama. It seems generic, but Saldana and Annable do their best to make it work.  

Lioness is a fine series to watch. It's not great with what the ads have been saying, but there are more good things than bad. It's not Yellowstone, Seal Team, or The Brave, but if I can watch all eight episodes, you can also watch it.

Overall, I give it a 7.5/10.
