We’re about to binge a landslide of new Taylor Sheridan content this Fall – but if we had to put money on it, Lioness Season 2 will be the show left out of the hype. Frankly, it’s Taylor Sheridan ‘s world and we’re just living in it. Most of us are preoccupied with the imminent (and long-awaited) return of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 , particularly after the very public Kevin Costner fallout.
But the man has a universe of fiction at his fingertips...
and part of that is Lioness Season 2 . Let’s walk you through the basic mission, should you choose to accept watching it. Zoe Saldaña plays Joe, a CIA officer who’s in charge of the secretive Lioness program.
Their task? To eliminate certain targets across the world, which almost always results in some near-death-inducing drama. Oh, and report it all to Nicole Kidman (boss Kaitlyn) if they make it out alive. That sounds rather bombastic on paper, but the reality is much more mundane.
Sheridan’s attention is scattered this year, and that’s likely to be to Season 2’s detriment. Instead of building something more dynamic on a first season that received middling reviews, Lioness’ second outing delivers more of the same. Why don’t we just binge Law & Order again and be done with it? Perfunctory and dutiful, just like its subject The fact Lioness Season 2 dutifully fulfills its brief of delivering stable and well-rounded drama, without any flourishes, is almost something to marvel at.
It’s almost as if Sheri.
