Lioness (2023)

Season 2 is certainly a step in the right direction for this series and leads us to hope Sheridan will pursue more thriller projects in the future.

The Zoe Saldaña-led spy thriller’s sophomore run is fantastic, and stands as one of the year’s best TV shows.

Despite occasionally stretching plausibility, Taylor Sheridan’s latest event TV series mixes explosive espionage action with domestic issues to mostly absorbing effect.

The first episode serves as a mostly successful setup, but much of what the show will become remains top secret. There's also a question of how this budget will be spread around; is the opening scene with all its helicopters and explosions a sign of what's to come, or just a big show to get viewers instantly hooked? I don't know, but the intel we do have on the rest of the series says it has some promise.

There are hints here and there that it could become something better than the high-class hokum the pilot delivers.

De Oliveira might not be in their [Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman's] league yet, but if her performance here is anything to go by, she will be. Her Manuelos is a combination of barely suppressed rage and eagerness to please, and she’s very handy with a frying pan – as a weapon rather than an item of cookware. She also conveys an air of emotional vulnerability. You’re rooting for her within 90 seconds of her introduction.

The show is good at what it does. The military sequences are well directed, the camaraderie of the team is well drawn, and each episode leaves you keen to see what happens next. It’s an effective action thriller, albeit one that only goes skin deep – there is none of Homeland’s complexity and the dialogue is cheesy in a Top Gun sort of way.

It’s too early to say where ‘Lioness’ will land, but it’s a promising beginning, arguably more absorbing than any of these recent shows, and hell, we’ll take that roar as long as it lasts.

Unlike “1923,” which moseyed at a glacial pace, director John Hillcoat keeps “Lioness” moving apace. It also helped that the first episode is a brisk 41 minutes, avoiding the bloat that mars too many streaming dramas these days.

“Special Ops: Lioness” has all the makings of a crackling good military spy thriller.

纪录片：《女人如何平衡事业和家庭》 公主好可怜，我们特工怎么连个结尾镜头都没有🥲 好多人质问为什么要写家庭线 这么啰嗦，因为你平时脑子都被舍小家为大家的大男主塞满了，你觉得只上班不回家是正常的，你觉得老婆孩子在国家面前是可以被放弃的，就是你虽然是女的但是已经习惯把自己当男人思考了，一句话就是病该治了。 over.

Joe说Cruz改变了历史，Cruz却说杀一个老人不过是影响油价而已，好清醒好深刻

就算是女人打人、实打实的lesbian这些桥段，也没法再多打一星了..

工作果断坚韧，生活一地鸡毛，生活和工作的挣扎Zoe可以说演得入木三分，Kidman是我们强大的姐姐，工作力挺下属，生活关心朋友，很喜欢这两个角色！情节上来说不太合理的是cruz都没经过卧底训练，刚认识几天就开始love of my life，作为恐怖分子的女儿刚认识几天就成为好朋友我该夸你单纯吗？你单纯就算了家里也不给做下背景调查，做背景调查卧底不是都要先洗底吗？最后就是杀得也太容易了😅cruz这个角色是不是有什么精神分裂，选你进去的时候是不是你一副自己可以的样子，中间开始狂哭说自己不行没有经过训练，最后还怪别人让她杀人😅真的是工作中的巨婴

父母在处理女儿那件事上 太妥帖了

问那些为什么要拍孩子的，我寻思情报人员就不配拥有一个老公孩子在炕头的家庭了？😅😅 拍一些生活的琐碎反而会显得更真实，而不是一心为国不食人间烟火的sb

题材还是很喜欢，整体还行但是不够出彩。越往后看越想到homeland，想到Carrie。

如果主要角色不是那么多女人的话这个剧会非常一般，但它就是女角色含量高，所以我觉得挺好看的，这是它最大的优点

开场就bug，石油千金哪那么容易撞一下就路人变闺蜜了？中间各种水略过不提，最后一集猛然提升：大梦谁先觉，事后皆寂寞，我们都特么都是工具！然而，支撑我看完全剧的是石油千金的一笑百媚生，小特务身心俱伤。

这个结局我不满意，但是你要给第二季铺垫我可以忍。Joe除了行动不关手机都是优点。第二季石油千金请回来复仇！

最大的bug就是在互联网被搜到

谢里丹流水线，视听和文本上都有不少桥段自我抄袭（《边境杀手》），文本和剪辑缺乏情绪调动能力的时候就用音乐轰。最后杀敌那一下果断出手很棒，但也就仅止于此了。

免费的Paramount+看的第一部剧，据说是根据真实改编，如果现实有一半，那也真是太狠了。最后一集的很多对白不错，女主觉醒也很好。女制片人剧，棒。多给一颗🌟，能看到这个剧很棒，表现女战士的电影和剧都太少了。PS：第二季貌似已经订了。

我宣布第七集就是今年best lesbian sex scene！！！！🥵🥵🥵卧底优等兵x黑老大闺女这种设定好像还是第一次嗑到🥵🥵Cruz这种受得住严刑拷打但是动了感情只能哭唧唧向上级报告not trained for this的（假）猛1谁能受得了啊🥵🥵🥵（（看完了，好真实的BE了😭不过Cruz在厨房从暴露到🔪掉两人只用了23秒真的太猛了。非常需同人文来拯救一下我

看完，我直接封神，今年最佳！！！！这故事又甜又虐又刺激，cruz的人设又猛又菜还奶狗，天啊！！就像花了几百万美元特地为拉拉做的一道大菜，好吃得我都不敢想！！！

有点像谍战片，但拍得又一大堆家庭生活？反正这种类型的作品也都模式化了。反正我是没理解为什么这种任务派个训练都还没完的新人去，而且还是个本方酒吧人人都知道的人。。。个人评价：B

谢里丹你写的母女关系就是shit

整体很一般，bug也不少，一个cia卧底，居然能在互联网搜到是海军陆战队员，还有军装照。 家庭线莫名其妙，加入个医生治疗脑瘤小姑娘意义何在？ 开头的防御作战更是说不通，一支cia小队为啥在前线防御？紧接着线人暴露，两者之间一点关系都没，只能看出美军强大的空中支援能力。

一个暴力版的Carrie上线了

要不要这么事无巨细，按部就班？女特工我永远只爱凯瑞麦瑟森。
