Plot: The Indian series from the world of Citadel, executive producers the Russo Brothers and filmmakers Raj and DK. When stuntman Bunny recruits struggling actress Honey for a side gig, they are hurled into a high-stakes world of action, espionage and betrayal. Years later, as their dangerous past catches up, the estranged Honey and Bunny must reunite and fight to protect their young daughter Nadia.
Citadel Honey Bunny was good.
Pros: I like how much of Italian Heritage was shown in the series. Many of the moments involving Honey and Nadia were emotional and catching. Honey and Rahi worked well as a couple. I did understand the dialogue most of the time. The action is full non-stop excitement and in my opinion this series works as a prequel to the original citadel series.
Cons: It won’t connect to everyone. I feel sometimes there was a lack of emotion in some scenes. The villain didn’t engage me that much and how it ended so abruptly.
