Story
CIA agent Joe tries to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped produce a more authentic execution of weapons handling, house clearance, positioning, squad-based activity, etc.
Great acting by all
Best new show out there, after a disappointing 4th season of Jack Ryan, and lackluster shows all around, this one felt much better in every way. It feels really well made and the action/fight scenes look amazing.
I also haven’t seen any red flags so far, like making every man look incompetent or anything
I feel like most of the criticism of this show in the comments section seems to boil down to how unrealistic it is because of the whole female operator thing, and I, for one, a guy, don’t mind a good female-led action show that’s an original IP that doesn’t go and make a male lead a female lead. Also, at first I thought it would be a more action-oriented, no-frills show, but then they kind of delved into the family a bit and I usually cringe at that, but I didn’t dislike what they did there.
it needs to be more comprehensive so they can make a more intense new Homeland at a faster pace, otherwise it risks becoming too episodic like Blacklist
My only criticism is that the plot of what this specific group of operators does is very limiting to the story and could kill it by moving past a season’s plot/villain… PS: So far, Nicole Kidman’s part is incredibly small and uneventful and could have been played by anyone else… We’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 with Zaldana without any other A-listers.
It’s entertaining even if it’s not the History Channel show that some commentators seem to prefer
TLDR Overall, cautiously optimistic, but I like what I’ve seen so far, everything is incredibly polished and well done.
