I hoped that Citadel was at least acceptable.
Given that Richard Madden starred in Game of Thrones and the much better Bodyguard and good actors like Stanley Tucci & Lesley Manville in supporting roles I hoped that this new series could be fun.
However it starts with a CGI-heavy opening scene on a fake looking train with horrible dialogue & embarrassing acting on Priyanka Chopra's part and goes only downhill from there.
Excessive killings and violence as if we were in a video game, amnesia, no finesse, no surprise- a by the number series for people who have neither seen James Bond nor Kingsman nor Jason Bourne. This series is an embarrassment for everybody involved and especially for Amazon, which poured a ton of money into this new franchise.
However knowing that the Russo Brothers are behind it, I have my explanation why Citadel is as bad as it is. No wonder, the Russos are also behind 2022's equally embarrassing and bad The Gray Man on Netflix.
Anybody who expects at least some quality: Please do yourself a favor and don't watch this disaster.
