    It is perhaps predictable that the Sheridan take on pop feminism would weaponize women’s liberation in service of the military industrial complex. After all, that rhetorical sleight of hand is as much a cliché as the rest of “Lioness,” which shows the strain of a single writer cranking out scripts for each of his half-dozen shows on air. “Lioness” may be a first for its creator in some respects, but in others, it’s more of the same.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Again the industry feel a need to invoke woke feminist ideology instead of focusing on a good story. literally started with a woman experiencing difficulty and eventually joining the military by earning it. And then all of the sudden shes experiencing every single kind of "toxic masculine" action in the book... when shes special forces..?? and they just keept on going with it. The message behind this show is obvious, take military and guns and aim the "story" at toxic men and then change the story to a woman who is experiencing getting date rape drugged etc. Apparently hollywood are psychologists now and they use movies to.. "give men empathy" because men are toxic..?
    i think the days of movies and tv shows are over.
    The days of propaganda, brain wash and psychological warfare has arrived.    … Full Review »

    They should've focused on the story and not the gimmick. I don't know who they thought would watch this, but I don't think anyone will.

    Enjoyable show. It may not be realistic but was entertaining. Hopefully, there will be a second season.
