Diana P What junk. Season one was ok. Season two is wacko. Well known characters are altered into overblown cliches. Plot is no fun to follow. Still have no idea what an A list Hollywood movie star is doing in this series. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Craig B Special Ops: Lioness is a high quality, military action / thriller. Led by the superb Zoe Saldana and an impressive support cast including Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Martin Donovan and Michael Kelly, this is a compelling series. Sure, it's not all-out action every minute (but when the action does come, it's gritty and intense), but the series benefits from the personal lives of the key characters, not least the family of Zoe Saldana. Well worth watching for those who like slick, gritty and exciting action thrillers with real heart. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Audience Member There is a dichotomy here. It tries to be an action series, but at the same time, a lil' slow burn, and while it tries to be a complicated story telling, it is also quite a simple story. There are too much DRAMA, to the point that it's NOT necessary. The drama part of the conflicted helo pilot about betraying her dad and family went a bit tooooooooo lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng unnecessarily and added no value to the storyline IMO. The showdown finale is far too predictable and the helicopter shot down part is far too unbelievable. Why would she be flying so LOW and CLOSE TO the convoy that she can be shot down by a TANK. UNBELIEVABLE. And we're supposed to believe the F22's flying near the border (and note, the finale showdown is just a little over the borders.... takes FOREVER to get there. And WHY would you carry out that OPERATION that supposedly statement making and send in such a minute group of Operators. 2 snipers, 2 dudess in a helo, and 5 other dudes, to take on a whole battalion of HIGHLY effective/trained/deadly enemy forces.... AND WHY would Iran be transporting the 2 Nuclear specialist BUT transiting in this obscure remote battalion base? I'd have them flown in directly into Tehran. I mean, I know, ya gotta create a story where you have the edge of the seat moment, but I already know the back up will arrive in the nick of time to kick ass. I thought the way Season 1 ended was pretty bad, but season 2 finale? Worse. To me, it's a waste of talents, and please for the love of God, don't bring back that irritating Pilot.. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Agustin G Lots of action, fast paced. I dont like Joe very much she is too tightly wound to be a good leader and snaps against superiors and her family life gets in the way of the narrative but the rest is fine. I even like the way Taylor Sheridan always portrays himself as the ultimate badass in his shows. Good fun Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Rosemary R We love this show and I can't stop watching! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Monique G Love both seasons, love the strong women in it and the action is good. Maybe not as good of a script as the 1st one, but the action and the acting of the women especially, made this a very enjoyable experience and binge watched the 2nd season!!
