Even though Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman are the stars, they play bosses of the woman doing the work (Laysla De Oliveira). She's a new recruit to the special secret ops group and her mission is to befriend the daughter of a wealthy funderEven though Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman are the stars, they play bosses of the woman doing the work (Laysla De Oliveira). She's a new recruit to the special secret ops group and her mission is to befriend the daughter of a wealthy funder for terrorists. Her training and subsequent involvement forms the crux of the story with the other 2 women confronting the political and logistical consequences. Creator Taylor Sheridan has placed the emphasis on female characters with their personal relationships adding an emotional connection, but the thrust is really about the covert ops. There are a few moments of tough physical encounters to maintain the action adjective, but the focus is on the mental challenges these characters face, so there's lots of Sheridan's spicy chatter punctuated by spurts of violence.… Expand

In reality the US are illegally occupying Syria, stealing oil and had the guts to hire the PKK to use chlorine gas on them.

I am not surprised... everything out of the US is warmonger garbage at the hands of the bad guys.

What started out promising drifted midway through and then ended very poorly. Zoe was superb. I thought her character was well written and acted. The other star power really pulled their weight too. But ultimately the show devolved into weakWhat started out promising drifted midway through and then ended very poorly. Zoe was superb. I thought her character was well written and acted. The other star power really pulled their weight too. But ultimately the show devolved into weak story telling, over acted characters, and unbelievable plot points. I knew halfway through it wouldn’t end well. Way too much drama devoted to side characters and backstory that was needless. I actually fast forwarded through most of that to just watch the operational parts. It’s truly sad because this show could have been so much better and really launched a new series. But with how this one played out I wouldn’t bother watching another.… Expand

So far a decent show, let's see where this is going, there is a lot of potential here. The cast does a good job. I give it a 7 at this point, but might still go up.

You’ll be drawn in and wanting more which is unfortunate because the series is only 8 episodes. Interesting plots, fresh writing, and overall good pace although the episode 6 seemed to be a bit slower than the prior episodes. The entire cast is bad a$$ and it’s cool seeing such heavy hitters in the small screen. If it wasn’t for the Hollywood strikes, you would see more promotion of this awesome and entertaining series. Fingers crossed for a second season and beyond.… Expand

The series stars Zoe Saldaña as Joe, a marine who leads an elite unit of female soldiers who are trained to go undercover and befriend the wives, girlfriends, or daughters of high-value terrorist targets.
I was drawn to the series by its strong female characters. Joe is a complex and relatable protagonist, and I found myself rooting for her and her team throughout the series. The supporting characters are also well-developed, and I enjoyed seeing their relationships with each other develop over the course of the season.
The action sequences in the series are also top-notch. The show doesn't shy away from violence, but it never feels gratuitous. The action is always grounded in the characters and their stories, which makes it all the more impactful.
Overall, I thought Special Ops: Lioness was an excellent series. It's a must-watch for fans of military thrillers and strong female characters.… Expand
