CIA agent Joe tries to balance his personal and professional life as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped produce a more authentic execution of weapons handling, house clearance, deployment, squad-based activity, etc… Referenced in Sovereign Awards (2024). As a fan of Taylor Sheridan, 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. It seems like everything he does is amazing. It follows the story of Joe (Zoe Saldana) who works for the CIA and its war on terror. As she struggles to balance her personal and professional life, she recruits a secret agent named Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) into the Lioness Program to work alongside her in apprehending some terrorists. Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Kelly, Jill Wagner, and LaMonica Garrett also star in the fantastic series.
