What happens when the bond you can’t let go of might be the one thing holding you back? Sonequa Martin-Green and Natalie Morales shine in this offbeat, heartfelt comedy-drama about trauma, family, and the ghosts we choose to keep close.
Lioness Season 2 Episode 8 Recap examines “The Compass Points Home” as Joe risks everything to save her team, the CIA reshapes the balance of power, and one final homecoming delivers the season’s most emotional moment.
Lioness Season 2 Episode 6 Recap explores “2381” as Joe fights for her life after a devastating mission, Josephina confronts her father, and the CIA’s operation against Los Tigres spirals into a dangerous battle over loyalty, sacrifice, and survival.
Lioness is nothing if not consistent. Through the fog of its incessant sociopolitical incoherence (also nothing short of ur-typical of the militant-spy genre), each episode delivers an even mix of A-list scenery chewing, insane dialogue, and small-screen action that actually kinda rips.
Lioness can’t decide what war it’s fighting. In just three episodes, season 2 has racked up a kidnapped congresswoman, a mysterious threat from China, and our own corrupt DEA.
We’re only three episodes into Lioness season 2, and we’ve seen a ton of surprises.
What was a simple kidnapping plot is now concerned with preventing a global war with China.
The series follows three women in the CIA’s “Lioness” program, which sends female operatives undercover into dangerous criminal organizations.
