LIONESS S3

LIONESS made me hold my breath continuously throughout its third season. The series contained an abundance of exciting, violent, and cruel moments that stayed with me long after the credits rolled and then led me to come back for more. I was putty in the hands of Taylor Sheridan (YELLOWSTONE, LANDMAN), the creator and writer of this entertaining look at the spy-espionage world. Labeling LIONESS as a mere thriller is no longer enough. What a devastating, brutal show ending with a huge cliffhanger that is begging to come back for more attacks on those who keep our country safe. Bring it on!

LIONESS boasts a huge cast who demonstrate their stellar, fine acting skills. Zoe Saldana as Joe gave fans another side to her powerful, no-bullshit attitude. Her performances broke my heart while making me stand up and cheer. Her character, though tough as nails, took viewers along the edges that are often beyond difficult to recover from. She was at the center of the story arcs, yet she was surrounded by consummate characters to guide her home. Kudos to Nicole Kidman, Dave Annable, Michael Kelly, and Morgan Freeman. These are sublime actors who made me a believer in what happens in the Sit Room every day. Joe’s crew deserve a standing O as well. Kyle, Tex, Randy, Two Cups, Bobby, Cruz, and Kate are the best of the best. Thank goodness they always have each other’s backs.

LIONESS is a smart, current, tight series. The plot lines guide audiences across the unthinkable and point a finger at what constantly threatens our freedom and what’s at stake. It also shines a bright light on those who fall by the wayside as collateral damage. I can’t say enough to encourage viewers to check this series out, especially if you are a fan of this genre. You will not be disappointed. I am waiting with bated breath for its return.

LIONESS is streaming on Paramount+.
