Lioness is a gripping, high-stakes spy thriller that earns its tension through dangerous undercover missions, moral compromises, and the personal toll of the job. Taylor Sheridan’s TV show has been a real treat so far, blending tactical action with emotional pressure and shifting loyalties. It’s sleek, intense, and often genuinely suspenseful. However, for an even sharper, more emotionally charged take on espionage, Netflix’s Black Doves is the better option.
