Inspired from a real life CIA mission, Special Ops: Lioness is about a team of former operatives who performed an undercover operation to take down a terrorist organization from within.
The spy thriller series is gaining popularity due to its intriguing plot that is based on true events and has become one of the most-watched series in summers 2023 after other hits of Sheridan like Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, 1923, 1883, etc.
Zoe Saldana, the American actress known for starring in Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and blockbuster Avatar movies is starring in the role of mastermind behind the CIA mission. With the release of this series, Sheridan has proved that he’s not obsessed with western theme.

Where can I watch lioness Season 1?
Special Ops: Lioness is a Paramount original that debuted on 23 July 2023. The series is exclusively streaming for Paramount+ subscribers in a selected number of countries that includes the United States, Australia, Nordics, the UK, Ireland, and Canada. If you live in USA then you can also watch live TV and sports channels on Paramount Plus.
In addition to this new Zoe Saldana series, you can watch other shows of Sheridan-verse with the same subscription like the Yellowstone, 1923, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, 1883 season 2, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, and even the upcoming Sicario 3 and Yellowstone spinoff 6666 that is currently in the works.
The Hollywood Reporter has to say, the Lioness is a lackluster drama with lots of boilerplate dialogues. It seems that they have constructed the show for the audience who doesn’t care much about and will watch it while scrolling their Instagram.
Overall, critics have praised the series for its accurate depiction of true events but some reviews are gross, not the one from THR.
