Narrative

CIA agent Joe tries to balance her personal and professional life as the spearhead of the CIA’s war on terror. Real military advisors helped make the weapons handling, house clearing, positioning, squad activities, etc. more authentic. Quoted in Sovereign Awards (2024). As a Taylor Sheridan fan, I’ve been looking forward to Special Ops: Lioness ever since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailers and my excitement grew. This is definitely another hit in a long line of Sheridan hits. Everything she does seems great to me. It follows the story of Joe (Zoe Saldana), who works for the CIA and their war on terror. While trying to balance her personal and professional life, she recruits an undercover agent named Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) into the Lioness Program to help her stop some terrorists. Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Kelly, Jill Wagner, and LaMonica Garrett also star in this great series.
