Narrative
CIA agent Joe tries to balance his personal and professional life as the head of the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped make the handling of weapons, house cleaning, deployment, crew-based activities, etc. more authentic… Mentioned in Premios Soberano (2024). As a Taylor Sheridan fan, I’ve been looking forward to Special Operations: Lion since I first heard about it. Then I saw the trailer and my excitement grew. This is definitely another hit in a long line of achievements for Sheridan. He seems to excel at everything he does. It follows the story of Joe (Zoe Saldana), who works for the CIA and their war on terror. As she struggles to balance her personal and professional lives, she recruits a secret agent named Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) into the Lion program to work with her to stop some terrorists. Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Kelly, Jill Wagner and LaMonica Garrett also star in the excellent series.
