Citadel Review (Episodes 1 & 2): High on pace and richly detailed portrayal of Priyanka Chopra's femme fatale look

Priyanka Chopra Jonas starrer Citadel is about an independent global spy agency tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people were destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows.

Starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Citadel is like an adrenaline rush that you haven’t experienced for long. And to see Priyanka Chopra in the action scenes which she does with ease is like a treat to the eyes. I am completely awestruck as to how many months she has given to nail the act. And to see her action scenes your mouth will be perpetually open most of the time. It’s a sleek spy thriller that will keep you engaged and make you ask for more. The canvas of Citadel is massive and every part of the globe can be a part of it.

Citadel is an independent global spy agency, tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people, until it was destroyed by operatives of the Manticore syndicate. It stars Richard as Mason Kane, a highly skilled Tier-One agent who narrowly escapes with his life, but not without having his memory wiped. The pace, the craft, the expressions; both Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden has nailed it. The desi girl has taken the role of Nadia Singh to the next level.

Priyanka, plays Nadia, also an elite spy, who on reuniting with Mason – her former partner – eight years after the fall of Citadel, embarks on a mission to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.
Tucci plays Bernard Orlick, Citadel’s tech genius, who has developed systems and new technology to ensure the organization’s supremacy worldwide and to take down terrorist organizations and nefarious state governments. Later in his life, Orlick grew close to Kane, forming a father/son bond with the younger spy.

Visually appealing and two very attractive leads of the show, that is the main plus point of Citadel. But everything said and done, Citadel though pleasing to the eye, but there is not much newness to it. I would call Citadel to be a an above average routine spy thriller. It may not be a best spy thriller with a woman lead. But for me what matters is Priyanka Chopra’s professional achievement and how she grows with each project that she takes up in Hollywood.
