Richard Roeper RogerEbert.com Jul 31
[It] amps up the action and increases the personal risk factor, reflecting the real-life chaos of today’s geopolitical landscape while telling fictional—if mostly plausible—stories. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 6d
Of the Season 3 performances, Saldaña once again shines — not because of Joe’s explosive ferocity, which was well-displayed in Season 2, but because of the greater but quiet consideration she must give every move made in Season 3. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 6d
We’re on board for Joe’s inner conflict reaching new levels in Season 3 of Lioness. We just wish that Taylor Sheridan wouldn’t waste so much time with bloody shoot ’em ups and leave time for more character exploration. Go to Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist 6d

Sheridan fills rooms with people who refuse to yield and gives them life-or-death reasons to argue. It can be absurd, but it’s enormously entertaining. Go to Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) Aug 2

The show wants credit for centering tough, complicated women, then can't resist undercutting them with nudity that serves no purpose except reminding you they're still there to be looked at. Go to Full Review Brittany Frederick TVBrittanyF.com Jul 31
C-
The Taylor Sheridan action drama returns to Paramount+ with plenty of shooting, swearing and excitement, but it continues to lack the depth of Sheridan’s other shows. There’s not much to hold onto after the weekly burst of adrenaline wears off. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Andre K @AndreKnoxArt 2h First Two Episodes has Russian Sleeper-Spies,Guns,and Sexy Lesbian Nude Scenes!! Zoe Saldana knows what Men like!! See more Pavlo M @RT52704671 10h With all the footage available from the war in Ukraine, these filmmakers still managed to portray it in such an unrealistic and fake way that it really makes you realize how little they understand about the kind of war that's actually going on. By the way, the line from Zoe Saldaña's character saying that this war has nothing to do with them is just incredibly stupid. Let's see how much this war "has nothing to do with" Americans when highly trained drone operators from authoritarian countries start bombing U. S. bases around the world - and not just military bases. See more Chris C @JccFla 13h Just watching Lioness for the first time. I guess this is season 3, though I had never heard of it before. Stopped watching after the 3rd episode, I believe, where the new agent was kidnapped and beat up in a "training exercise". This to me is a horrible concept, was grossly gratuitous and didn’t contribute to the plot (as far as I could tell). I have no problem with violence in movies, but this turned me off. The series had potential to be good, but I’m done. See more Lori H @LAHcomic 16h Only episode 1 8s out but seems to be right on track with season 1 and 2! See more Slick R @SlickReviewer 18h Ep1 S3 was just like a campaign from Call of Duty Modern Warfare. Pretty damn crazy. Taylor Sheridan strikes again. See more Sondra N @RT5689042217938 21h What a great first episode, the scenes in the Ukraine were fantastic and a good depiction of drone warfare and the war there in general.
