Story
CIA operative Jo struggles to balance her personal and professional lives as the spearhead of the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped create more authentic weapon handling, house cleaning, positioning, and command. Reference Premios Soberano (2024).
Great acting from everyone
Best new show after the disappointing Jack Ryan season 4 and all around weak shows, this felt much better in every way. Looks really well done and the action/fight scenes look great. I feel like most of the criticism of this show in the comments section is about how unrealistic it is because it’s all female-driven stuff, and I, as a guy, don’t mind a good female-led action show.
It’s an original IP that doesn’t turn a male lead into a female lead
I haven’t seen any red flags so far either, like making every man look incompetent or anything like that. I also thought it was going to be more of a real plot show at first, but then they got a little bit into the family, and I usually cringe at that, but I didn’t like what they did there. My only criticism is that the action plot of this particular group of operators is very limiting to the story and could kill it by going over the plot/villain of the season…
it needs to be more encompassing
they could probably make a new, more intense and fast-paced Homeland, otherwise it can become too episodic like The Blacklist PS: so far Nicole Kidman’s part is incredibly small and uneventful, and could have been done by anyone else… We' #39;ll see what the great Morgan Freeman brings to the show… But from what I’ve seen so far, the show could stand on its own without another A-Lister.
It’s entertaining, even if it’s not the History Channel show that some commentators prefer
TLDR Overall cautiously optimistic, but I like what I’ve seen so far, everything is incredibly polished and well done.
