Leon P @RT48041553 Aug 10 Season 2 amplifies what bothered me in Season 1. What began as a grounded thriller increasingly feels like a tale about almost legendary people whose personal relationships somehow shape everything around them. There is too much talking and too little action, while the story becomes progressively harder to believe. More importantly, my engagement with Chase and sympathy for him continued to fade. He is presented as a principled, idealistic warrior, yet his loyalties and objectives seem remarkably dependent on his personal attachments. That makes him look less like an exceptional soldier or spy and more like an exceptionally capable fighter and survivor whose personal judgment always comes first—even when his choices create danger for people close to him. Jeff Bridges remains excellent. Ironically, his performance uncovers Chase's personality so thoroughly that the better I understood the character, the less I admired him. See more Ftld F @Fank_B. Dec 25 Absolut sehenswerte, hoch realistische und intiligente Agenten Serie, bei der auch die Action nicht zu kurz kommt. Vor allem aber Spannung durch exzellente Schauspieler und kluges Drehbuch. Behutsam und gleichzeitig rasant um dann wieder die Charaktäre weiter zu zeichnen. Absolute Binge-Empfehlung. Mehr als schade, daß die Serie nicht weitergeführt wurde. Verstehe diese Entscheidung auch nach mehrmaligem Ansehen der Serie immernoch nicht. See more Vinyl C @RT31673325 Nov 3 Most disappointing to learn that Season 3 was cancelled. We felt that Season 2 extended and deepened the first series in intriguing and engaging ways. In particular, the growth and development of the daughter’s character was riveting. Yes, the plot was reasonably complex, but it was not that difficult to keep up, given the helpful 'What’s gone before' intros. The geopolitical elements were far from far-fetched and the interplay between the two elderly leads fascinating. Sad that the company shied away from an intelligent, contemporary thriller. Guess it’s that dumbing down process. Again.

Not only would he be dead anyway within 30 minutes, any sane person would have finished the job with a few more mercy bullets. Then attempted to go home to the good old USA. But NO, this would have been too logical and so the whole series slides further in the abyss of American stupidity See more Mark O @RT04940304 08/25/2025 One of the best drama shows on Disney plus. Shame there isn't going to be a third season See more FH F @RT12330810 08/16/2025 This was never an action thriller where explosions are used to fill for substance. This is an elegant look at an impossible situation where the daughter of a warlord is kidnapped to save her and forged American. What happens when she finds out about her roots and familial ties. Now add the intelligence world, the military, middle eastern conflict and financial interests. There are plenty of easy to understand series like lioness, where themes are spoon fed to you while doing the helicopter. Sure it's fun but you will have to eventually learn to feed yourself and refine your taste. See more Read all reviews
