Fall Finales: Citadel - Seasons One

With three finales last Friday across multiple streaming services, Citadel was the first I got to. Was it the best? Well first to the news of season two. It's officially coming!

Like previous Amazon action series, Reacher, Jack Ryan and Terminal List, Citadel is like and extension of Quantico for Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Josh Appelbaum, Bryan Oh, and David Weil with the Russo brothers acting as executive producers.

Alongside Chopra Jonas, Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville also star.

Citadel agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) are the leas in the massive action series with budget of US$300 million.

With only six-episodes in the first season, it is an easy breezy week to week watch. Whilst ranking as one of the most expensive television shows. 

Despite costing loads of money, the series has received very mixed reviews. Alongside a second season being announced, spin-off shows in different languages set in the Italian Alps, India, Spain and Mexico are in the works. .With Citadel:Diana to be released in 2024, meaning maybe Amazon has more shows in the can during the writers strike, which is ongoing.

With some episodes clocking in under 40 minutes this could be one of the easiest spy thrillers to smash of recent times.

Unlike Chopra Jonas in Quantico, Citadel wastes no time getting to the point. With big budget action sequences, high stakes drama, this won't pick up any TV awards, however would Jack Ryan or Reacher?

Amazon have created a library now of these similar action series, so if your show is delayed, like The Last of Us, White Lotus or Euphoria, maybe sign up for a free Amazon trial and give this sexy action thriller a go. The sexy part is for Richard Madden BTW.
