But I couldn't turn away for a minute

I'm sure when they decide to have the last season, they'll start having a kill fest like most shows.
I was hoping it was going to be more original
Jo needed to retire and the latino lesbian chick from last season should have been promoted to her position.
I was thinking the exact same thing
But then Zoe's ass smacked that thought right out my head.
If she retires, then we might get a chance to see her ass more often lol
Nah....I am not willing to take that risk.
And there is always a possibility of my fantasy of all 4 of those women coming back from battle for a group shower.
God bless America
this show is like Industry... The title is broad enough that its not tied to any one character AND we've seen the character arc of the main character/s. The show is called Special Ops: Lioness....not Special Ops: Joe McNamara! So the show SHOULD be able to run without that character OR Joe in another capacity not on the front line doing ops. Thats what we've seen for the last 2 seasons how her job is wearing on her, not in just in her personal life but on her mental health. ALL of them quite frankly....theres no way one can be well adjusted doing that shit day in day out.
Season 3 SHOULD see Jo retired from Station Chief of the Lioness program training Cruz Manuelos to take over the missions and trying to adjust to semi-civilian life. Which could be interesting to watch because as much as her husband and kids want her to not be away so much, they have gotten used to life without her being around weeks and months at a time and her constant presence now is disruptive to the routines they've adjusted to because of her absence. Theyve learned to live day to day without her. And now she's back trying to be a mother and they're all like WTF? If they do it right they could also use it as a source of a tension breaker. Joe can expertly maneuver her way thru life and death situations but has great difficulty figuring out how to navigate and interact with members of her local PTA.
If they really wanna push it..that could be a dramedy spinoff for Zoe Saldana and the actors who play her family....sort of a Lioness-verse if you will. Every so often she has to go back to the Thriller show to assist in something or those characters make a cameo and come to her show for some reason.
Could you imagine Two Cups, Tucker or Bobby on R&R visiting Joe's family and advertently end up babysitting her daughters. They get to see the life they past on or couldn't have and that hurts them in some ways...
But after dealing with all the BULLSHIT that comes with family life...then see them HAPPY to get back to the blood and guts of black ops!

Never watched Industry
youd like it
Is this a must-watch or just some distracting weak sauce with eye candy?

Depends, do you hate strong female leads and gays in tv shows?
Only if they are beating me over the head with a message that I'm not interested in.
I like Zoe. I liked her in Colombiana, unlike a lot of folks.
The question is: how good is the writing? If its just some standard procedural "cop/military show", then I'm probably not going to be interested.
Gay people are pretty much in every show.
If its man-on-man sex, then no, I'm not interested.
It's a good show, if you have seen Jack Ryan on Amazon it has that type of vibe but with more action.
I have not seen Jack Ryan but I will check the first couple of episodes of season one of Lioness.

Zoe Saldaña Leads CIA Anti-Terror Mission in ‘Special Ops: Lioness’ Trailer
Paramount+ has set a July 23 premiere date for the espionage thriller from Taylor Sheridan that also stars Laysla De Oliveira, Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman.www.hollywoodreporter.com
Man, ask any QRF if they wanted women in the field or as the primary thrust, and the answer is unanimously NO! If I need help, who am I calling first? A woman?
Most of the ones I went into combat with couldn't even hump a 70lb rucksack. Hollywood is funny. A scrawny woman is going to save me? What is this? Bizarro World?
I trained with a few of them in England. I was not ready. These MFS are some of the craziest people I have ever met. In life. It is so cold outside, and these mfs are warming up in shorts and t-shirts?!! It was so cold I almost quit right there. They look at me and ask if I want a cup of joe, mate. No, motherfucker I don't want coffee or anything else except my warm bed, you shepherds pie-eating motherfucker!
Just watched the season finale and went through and read a few of the comments. I cant remember where I read it (maybe youtube) and there was someone that said that Taylor Sheridan doesn't know how to write women characters. I'm not sure if thats true overall because I haven't watched his shows, but I do have an issue with Zoe's character seemingly screaming all the time. Like I don't know about other vets on the board, but I see never saw women officers or NCOs, yelling all the time. Prime examples is when she was at the airport dressing down that captain, I'm like yoooo stfu..all that aint even necessary. Like Nicole Kidman's character is how a lot of them act, just about business and not raising their voice but knowing that they are the ones in charge. I don't know...i like the series but I've always found that odd because it seems like that she's about to have a psychotic break at any minute.
Taylor Sheridan is just going to put himself in all of his shows now. I guess he's going to be like Tyler Perry. Doing the writing and the acting...lol
One more thing I've noticed is these little soliloquys that he has different characters do. When I watched the wire and these speeches would come up, I wouldn't know who was speaking and it appeared to be on brand of the story. Because I've been watching Taylor Sheridan's shows and I see that he appears to be the only writer, I feel like he's putting in his personal viewpoint on the situation and it may not be applicable at the present time. I'm probably being nitpicky and I think the writing is good and the shows are good, but those are just a few observations.

My pops worked 33 - 34 years for the fire department.
He always gets a kick out of the assorted fire and rescue shows, especially when they cast the beautiful & petite female firefighters.
He records those shows to skim over as pure comedy, and tells me about them later like "GTFOH", lol.
