What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly into this Taylor Sheridan spy thriller about a young Marine, Cruz Manuelos, recruited into the CIA's undercover Lioness program run by Zoe Saldaña's Joe. The acting, especially from Saldaña, gets praised for carrying the tense atmosphere, and the show looks great. The big sticking point is the story itself, which a lot of folks find unoriginal and unevenly paced, dragging down the strong visuals and solid performances. Some are also critical of how Sheridan's writing handles the characters, with mixed feelings about Saldaña's Joe and the development of Cruz's arc.
