CIA operative Joe attempts to balance her personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency's war on terror.. Real life military advisors helped in producing a more authentic execution of gun handling, house clearing, positioning, squad -based activity, etc… Referenced in Sovereign Awards (2024). Authors of the appealingly negative reviews of this thrilling series are entitled to their opinions. However, they appear driven by a particular agenda and seem unduly fixated on minutiae. E.g., how realistic is Laysla de Oliveira’s pull-up sequence? Many of the negative critics claim direct subject matter experience. Well, so do I. While Lioness may contain enough technical misses to keep it from qualifying as a special operations documentary, there are so many more details that it gets right – some of them startlingly so – so that it stands head and shoulders above most of the programming that one would compare it to. For instance, I, myself, switched to Lioness after starting out watching Heart of Stone. I usually enjoy Gal Gadot, but I wanted to see something with a bit more red meat. Lioness delivers, and how! From the action and plot to a relatable cast of characters embodied by a truly stellar cast, it’s all eminently bingeable!
