Narrative
CIA operative Joe attempts to balance her personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency's war on terror -based activity, etc…
Looks really well done and the action/fight scenes look awesome
Best new show around, After a disappointing 4th season of Jack Ryan, and all around lackluster shows everywhere, this felt so much better in every way.
Great acting by all
I feel most of the criticism of this show in the comment 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 is an original IP that doesn't go and turn a male lead into a female lead.
Also i haven't seen any red flags so far like making every man look incompetent or anything like that
Also at first i thought it was gonna be a more action-first no-nonsense show but then they kinda dove a bit into the family and i usually cringe at that, but i didn't dislike what they did there.My only criticism is that the plot of what this specific operator group does is very story limiting, and might kill it moving past a season's plot/villain…needs to be more encompassing so they could possibly do a new more action intensive fast-paced Homeland, otherwise it risks becoming too episodic like a BlacklistPS: 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 with Zaldana without any other A-Lister.TLDR Overall Cautiously optimistic but i like what i see so far, everything is incredibly polished and well done.
