Inspired by an actual US Military program, Special Ops: Lioness follows the life of Joe while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade and Byron Westfield, enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.
Critics Reviews:
- “Despite occasionally stretching plausibility, Taylor Sheridan’s latest event TV series mixes explosive espionage action with domestic issues to mostly absorbing effect.” – Boyd Hilton (Empire Magazine)
- “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.” – Anita Singh (Daily Telegraph (UK))
- ““There’s not much to go on, but nevertheless, the performances are uniformly good. Saldaña is superb as Joe: cool, calculated, self-restrained, with a home life she barely experiences and kids she barely sees.” – Vicky Jessop (London Evening Standard)
