Scenario
CIA operative Joe tries to balance his personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped create a more authentic rendition of weapons handling, house cleaning, location, squad-based action, etc.
How realistic is Laysla de Oliveira’s pull-out sequence, for example?
The writers of this grippingly negative review of this suspenseful series are entitled to their opinions. However, they seem driven by a specific agenda and seem to focus too much on details.
Well, so do I
Many of the negative critics claim to have direct experience with the subject. While The Lioness may contain enough technical errors to not qualify as a special operations documentary, there are so many other details that it gets it right—some of them startling—that it stands head and shoulders above most of the programming it could be compared to.
Lioness delivers, and how!
For example, I myself switched to Lioness when I started watching Heart of Stone. I usually enjoy Gal Gadot, but I wanted to see something with a little more red meat.
