Plot: Global spy agency Citadel has fallen, and its agents’ memories were wiped clean. Now the powerful syndicate, Manticore, is rising in the void. Can the Citadel agents recollect their past and summon the strength to fight back?
Season 1 of Citadel was hit and miss.
Pros: I did binge-watch this series today. The action sequences are thrilling and enjoyable. This season worked when it kept me guessing of where the story was going to go. I was rooting for Priyanka Chopra Jonas of what became of her physicality to her role. The villain dahlia was interesting and that final three episodes does leave ways for exciting things to looking forward too in a possible season 2.
This series needed to be rewatched again and again in order to get what’s going on.
Cons: The show does skip back-and-forth that confused me so much. I did have a rough time getting into what’s happening. It gets boring after a while and the show itself did get familiar after a while.
