[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 Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 3d
8/10
Taylor Sheridan has created a structure that allows new characters to join and others to depart, which also ups the ante that anyone could die at any time, just like in reality. Lioness continues to improve with each season, and this one is the best yet. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 4d
4/5
...it’s an expertly-mounted show which makes you believe this sort of stuff, or something like it, really does go on in the undercover world, though almost certainly with a less glamorous cast. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line Aug 3
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 Aug 3
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 Aug 3
B
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 Read all reviews

Ryan T @Guy2525 2h This is season is not very entertaining. Actually is confusing and takes away from what coukd have been.... a successful 3rd season. 1 and 2 were fabulous. Season 3...with the time hops are simply rediculous. You never know where your at. DIRECTOR shoukd have left timestamp on screen or had an obvious description when time hopping twice or three times within a 40 min episode. Makes this season look sloppy. Very very dissapppinting. Only signed up and gave reviee as everyone I speak with in regards ti Season 3 has similar review. Ouch. Big mistake and almost unwatchable. See more Tomasz B @T0mmyB 4h I Binged watched all 3 seasons of this HAAAAAAARD!!! TAYLOR Shiredan came through again! See more Alicia S @Alix18 6h Best serie this season is so good ….i loved See more R T @RT77995052 9h While watching S3 Episode #3, I was struck by how a conspiracy theory about the origins of COVID was presented almost as if it were established fact. Really?! One has to wonder if the strategy is simply to repeat a lie often enough that eventually someone—perhaps someone vulnerable to misinformation—will believe it. Nope. 👎 See more I F @RT11494961 15h Watching this from Kyiv, and laughing hard. This is more fiction, than Marvel movies. Everything is wrong. From old soviet cars I never seen myself, so old are those. To comics book firefighting. To agents running around like its 1920 spy novel. Honestly it is offensive. See more Paul D @LVHothead 1d I am sick to death of Taylor Sheridan preaching his social and political views to us. This could have been a good series, but his heavy hand ruined it.
