Mixed Reviews for Amazon's Spy Series 'Citadel' Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden

Amazon's new spy series, Citadel, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden, fails to deliver anything original or exciting in its first season. The show's premise of an amnesiac spy is unsteady and relies heavily on tropes and archetypes. The series lacks individual character voices and relies on either witty quips or long bursts of exposition. While the show's cinematography is impressive, the action sequences are dominated by CG and lack authenticity. The show is neither a disaster nor a gamechanger, and it remains to be seen if future installments will add anything fresh to the genre.
