Special Ops: Lioness - now streaming on Paramount+

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Morgan Freeman, Zoe Saldana, LaMonica Garrett

 

anyone seen the first ep?

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Watched the first two. They were solid.

[Tylerocks 2553]

Watched the first 2 yesterday.

Will keep watching.

Didn't know Morgan Freeman was in it.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13507]

Does Taylor Sheridan own Paramount+ at this point? Seems like a decent % of their shows are created by him.

[Gil Bang 25907]

any T&A? 

[thrillhammer 683]

Watched the first episode and thought it was impressed. Exceeded my expectations. I’m in.

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

So far so good. May be the best start through two eps of any of Sheridans shows so far

They bought the 6666s for him, so I think they own him.

[billfromlaketravis 11444]

I’m about 10 minutes in. Outfuckingstanding. 

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

First tv show to ever be filmed in Van Horn?

[DeepEastTexas 640]

Really enjoying this so far. Keeps getting better, and we haven't even gotten to Morgan Freeman. 

[aggie08 21481]

Sheridan sure does have the subtly of a hammer injecting his politics into his shows, but still a really good watch so far.

[PRONG HORN 3128]

Do you think "Special Ops: Chicks" may have given it away?

Want to know how I know you haven't actually watched this show...or apparently any of his shows?

[billfromlaketravis 11444]

I didn’t have Sheridan filming an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on my bingo card.  

[naija 2854]

Zoe Saldana is 45. And it was entirely believable that she'd still be able to skip a line like that...

[Scary Stranger 1714]

It's like someone is wearing a Nicole Kidman mask.  Truly jarring every time she is on screen.

[thrillhammer 683]

I guess paramount stopped airing it on their cable channel? Saw the first couple of episodes there and now it’s vanished.

Correct.

Quite a zag Sheridan. Blowing shit up in Syria to date raping in the Hamptons.

Teaser to try to get people to get Paramount+.

yep, they did the same thing to king of tulsa.  got the first two episodes and then left hanging.  they have, out of the kindness of their heart, recently aired the entire season of 1883.  so i got that going for me.

[naija 2854]

the action junkies will like this episode a bit more.

[Smax 3800]

Good episode, short but good

[NeverMarryAStripper 21867]

I started watching this hoping to not like it because it's Taylor Sheridan, but now I'm hooked.

[naija 2854]

For a second,  I thought maybe the vibe I had been getting was misplaced, and then .....

Just wait until he makes a cameo as a new guy on Saldana’s team. Who am I kidding - I will still watch because it’s good and Zoe.

Yeah i def thought it was trending that way over the past 2-3 eps

 

woulda been strange had it NOT gone that way

[DeepEastTexas 640]

I'm really enjoying this. Great episode yesterday. 

[naija 2854]

Hope there is a Season Two. Cast was great. Cruz just turned that switch on when she had to and got it done. Sheridan does wear his heart on his sleeve and gets his opinions out there through his characters but this was some good TV

[DeepEastTexas 640]

The strike will cause problems with season 2, but I'd like to see a second season. I thought it had a strong finish to the first season.  Would be interesting to see the fallout from the finale. 

[GreenspointTexas 9598]

Great little series/season

 

Zoe was the perfect cast for her role and was brilliant in this

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

I was not actually expecting a resolution this season. Taylor loves him some mega cliffhangers. 

Spoiler

that being said, it didnt go unnoticed that Cruz killed the fiance as well as the banker. 

assuming ason inherited the bankers money, and that that son doesnt punish Aaliyah for letting an assasin get that close, Cruz gave her girl a chance to be a lot free-er than she would have been. 

But then again, Cruz may have been right and Aaliyah gets revenge and pops out 10 kids who all start learning to hate America from birth

She must have a nice cache of scientology blackmail shit. Any other human actress that looks like her would be lucky to get voicework.

She also has Abe Vigoda ears now, which is super sexy on old women.

 

[CooterBrown 18001]

This better be renewed.

[AUS-97HORN 11756]

also I completely forgot to mention that while I saw her name in the credits, and that she's even getting an Exec producer credit, it took me 3 full episodes to realize that 

Bobby

was

the Mercury girl:

and the Wipeout Girl:

 

 

[Scary Stranger 1714]

Those guards were definitely Storm Trooper level bad shots.

That's Justin Bieber 

[Frank The Tank 1496]

I read he may do a “Special Ops:_______” anthology type series where each season is focused on a new team with new actors. I could get on board for that if it happens. This was a fun season, but I doubt they can bring back those actors again. And Cruz is pretty much burned on being able to go undercover ever again. 
 

Spoiler

Small complaint. They didn’t scrub the internet of their special ops under  cover asset being pictured in a marine corps uniform?

good luck clearing 90 minutes of morgan freeman's schedule again.

it's like somebody heard he was filming two stages over and was like, "fuck it, let's just ask him."

[Buzzrock 14901]

I didn’t even recognize Jill Wagner from Wipeout fame. She makes a convincing lesbian.

[Mileslong 4728]

I haven’t watched this yet but if there are 110lb girls kicking 200lb guys asses I’m not watching it.

[Scary Stranger 1714]

Not really.

there were some problematic elements, but this wasn't really one of them.

[Buzzrock 14901]

There are 110 lb girls doing other awesome things though.

[Buzzrock 14901]

That monologue from ZS near the beginning of episode seven was pretty fucking good. She’s famous for being the sci-fi queen but she has some chops.

[crony 359]

Haha this show was laughably fucking stupid/ridiculous. All the same bullshit tropes and then some. LULZ. When AI takes over Hollywood, I swear this will be the first and easiest genre to go.

Stephanie Mur is gorgeous 

[Scary Stranger 1714]

Season 2 filming is underway.

[lateshow 1304]

I never finished season 1. Did Cruz and Aaliyah ever scissor?
