Citadel spares no expense but still feels underdeveloped, yielding a fairly fun spy caper that nonetheless creaks under the weight of its own exorbitance. Read critic reviews

Citadel really captivated me with the trailers. I felt even more excited after watching the title sequence for the first time. The production value of this show is high, and it tells in many ways. The direction is stylish and has that sense of grandiosity you might appreciate in a spy thriller. The costumes, locations, set pieces and gadgets on display -- thanks in part to impressive CGI -- are all very high-end. The soundtrack is equally striking and majestic. Just Google the budget for this thing. However, the writing drags this down badly. The pacing of the series is decent, perhaps the best part of the screenplay. Sure, there are great action scenes and some interesting pieces of dialogue, but they make up an insignificant portion of the entire ordeal. The show is filled with boring and clichéd characters. There are so many tropes, it's insulting. The script seems to do a lot of explaining, and not enough showing. When it tries to be clever, the result is just awkward. Rehashing details that the audience might have picked up on their own makes watching it way more tedious than it should be. The action scenes might look good, but there's barely any tension surrounding them or the preceding events. I couldn't care much about the stakes. The acting isn't even compelling enough. Performances range from decent to shaky, but fortunately nothing bad enough that it becomes distracting. It's just another attempt at seriousness that doesn't match the quality. I took far too long to watch a series that barely totals 4 hours. There's hardly anything original here, and after watching it, you're going to wonder what the goal of this project was.

Def fresh AF.... Both the main actor/actress are sexy, smooth, sleek and there chemistry is Bonded....Pun Intended....Action scenes are nail biting fun and the story isn't to dam shabby... If your fans of Bond/Mission Impossible and 90"s action films with a mistake twist this is the cocktail for you..... Loved It!!!!!

Love the premise, the twists , the writing. And though violence is endemic to spy movies, it isn't grotesquely overblown in this fun and engaging rollick. Actors are fabulous 👌🏽 I have no idea what the critics are rattling their heads about. Blah blah blah blah blaaaa Citadel weaves a great tale, threads on memory, identity, with questions-— how can you discern reality when your chosen profession requires submerging your truths and true self, and believing your own lies. The struggle to hold onto one's humanity plays large. And though who is good and who is evil is kept enticingly fuzzy, the monsters are all too familiar. Did I say that Nadia is whistling steam hot?🔥

I love the spy thriller genre but this is just a convoluted mess of incoherent flashbacks designed to hide the facts that there is no logic whatsoever to this inane plot. The show seeks to wow the viewer with fast paced action set pieces exotic location but they can't even do that because they are broken up with mindless and needless repeated interruptions, slow moving blurry flashbacks that we are supposed to think are profound because of their style in which they are shot. I can make a show that makes absolutely no sense at a minuscule fraction of the millions of dollars that this mess cost. Yes series exemplifies everything that is wrong with Hollywood today. I guess we know that the Russo brothers were not the reason for those Marvel Movies success. It's very common that the person/people who deserves the credit rarely get it.

Omg! I loved it but only 6 episodes, still a 10/10 for me and can't wait for season two.

Made an account just for this show! I loved it despite all the bad rep it seems to have. I didn't find out about that till after finishing the season. I thought they did a great job and did not look like a low budget show at all. To me it seems they have many timelines and ways to keep the show alive. Definitely worth watching! I'm tired of producers not giving a show a chance. Suits is getting super popular now but has been out forever. Sometimes it takes time to get people to watch it especially when there is only one season out. Give the show a chance at least!

Just bad. Don't waste your time.

I wanted so much to like the show. Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci are great (given what they have to work with) and Priyanka Jonas is great to look at and fine in her role. But in this series, things just keep happening.... for no apparent reason. The gimmick of lost memory wears off after one episode, and what's left after that is a bunch of people I don't care about running around with guns and F-bombs for no particular reason at all, it seems. They are spies without a purpose. If Netflix spent $300 million on this, they might want their money back.

Bad writing, bad acting, and an obnoxious camera style with all the upside down shots and the twisting camera shots. Every time the camera went upside down I just thought of Eric Idles Monty Python "wink wink nudge nudge" sketch. We get it. It's a spy movie…we don't expect to believe everything we see….that's the point.

Found it to be highly entertaining. Is it James Bond? No. Is it the Bourne series. To be seen. But so much is set up and a lot of good pay off. While there are sloppy moments and areas that could be better. It was an overall enjoyable binge. Soemthing to come back to. At this point looking at the other reviews, I've come to realize that people just aren't happy with anything. If This came out 12 years ago, everyone would be talking about it.
