Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
Decent action and tense drama highlight this series which still drips with Taylor Sheridan's hyper-masculinity despite its female cast.
TheWrap
Thelma Adams
As the end credits rolled on Sheridan's well-crafted thriller, I immediately wanted to discover what happens next.
Autostraddle

That Lioness works at all, it is on the backs of its stars who are engaging enough to watch, even as the story fails them.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
Despite its prestige-level budget and cast of way-overqualified A-list stars, "Special Ops: Lioness" lands with a jingoistic thud, feeling more like a 45-minute USMC recruitment ad than an honest-to-God military thriller.
The Playlist
Rodrigo Perez
Arguably more absorbing than any of these recent shows.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
This isn't "Zero Dark Thirty." This isn't even "American Sniper." This is "Dallas" in Syria.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Seems destined to follow the path of his prior Paramount+ hits: a show that features lots of talented people wasting their time on second-rate material targeted directly at red-state viewers.
Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Great army ad, lackluster drama.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
There's a place for what amounts to meat-and-potatoes TV, even in the prestige-conscious streaming world. Nevertheless, when it comes to training an audience to come back week after week, Special Ops: Lioness feels about as basic as it gets.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Wish there were moments of positivity and light because Joe's life demands relief from pitched drama and so do ours. However, in lieu of that, there's always Morgan Freeman!
Variety
Alison Herman
It is perhaps predictable that the Sheridan take on pop feminism would weaponize women's liberation in service of the military industrial complex. After all, that rhetorical sleight of hand is as much a cliché as the rest of "Lioness."
The Spool
Beau North
The message here is clear: you either assimilate into a man's world or are not worthy of it. For Lioness, anything soft or built from feminine/femme virtues is worthless.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Alex Maidy
Zoe Saldana and Laysla De Oliveira live up to the title of this series as fierce warriors. Few series have hooked me after one episode the way Special Ops: Lioness has and I cannot wait to see more.
New York Times
Mike Hale
It looks like an awful lot of other counterterrorism thrillers, with a visceral punch to its action and a ticky-tacky, backlot feel whenever it moves in close on its Middle Eastern settings.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
For 'Lioness,' creator Taylor Sheridan has assembled a handful of Strong Female Character tropes and sent them to war - resulting in a serviceable intelligence drama that escapes mediocrity thanks to its two leads.
Decider
Joel Keller
Special Ops: Lioness isn't a mess, but it's strangely inessential and inert, given its cast and Sheridan's involvement.
TV Guide
Tim Surette
There's nothing too complex going on here, but [De Oliveira's Cruz] is layered just enough for a show like this, which lies somewhere between a CBS military drama with a blank-check budget and a Showtime thriller that knows how to hit its marks.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
"Special Ops: Lioness" has all the makings of a crackling good military spy thriller.
Yahoo! Movies
Martin Carr
Special Ops: Lioness proves to be a slow burn thriller, combined with an enthralling character study, which is effortlessly held together by a top tier ensemble cast.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
This is an intriguing show for fans of the action genre, particularly fans of shows that focus on America's war in the Middle East...
