Review of Lioness

Lioness (2023– )
3/10
The great hollowness

Why even make a show if you have nothing say? Being able to recruit a few celebrities doesn't mean you should just for the principle of it.

Watching this show after the first episode is like seeing a headless chicken that keeps running aimlessly in every possible direction after having just been separated from its cognitive functions. Just longer, much longer.

It starts as a nonsensical action/espionage thriller but at least at first it looks like pretty entertaining nonsense. But soon enough it becomes obvious that the writer has absolutely no idea what story he wants to tell, so the main storyline drags its feet endlessly, moving tiny bit by tiny bit if at all, only to punctuate ridiculous unrelated events that add nothing to the plot and other (particularly cringe) family drama.

How does this get such rave reviews I wonder. Or do I?

Taylor Sheridan keeps selling his name cheap, eventually there'll be nothing left to sell.
