CitadelOnPrime is at its best when the action is nonstop, and Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas' chemistry sizzles. Our review:
There's certainly no shortage of espionage spy thrillers on TV these days, with Prime Video's highly anticipated Citadel the latest offering in the genre. So, what makes this story stand out among the rest? The short answer: its style.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first episode, which takes place on a train, catapults us into the narrative, with a fight in a tiny bathroom that goes down within the first few minutes. The ensuing scenes also fill us in on who Citadel is, who Nadia and Mason are, and how they're fighting against the bad guys, called Manticore.
While the premise behind Manticore as the bad guys and Citadel as the good guys may seem simplistic, it's really not that cut and dried. Remember, it was a Citadel agent who turned against our leading duo and caused their destruction at the beginning of the first episode, and the identity of that agent is unknown.
Another bright spot of Citadel is undoubtedly Tucci's Bernard. Quick with snappy one-liners, he provides much of the comic relief, and even when he's callously shooting someone in the head, you kind of like the guy immediately. He also has the best line in the first three episodes, with him telling Manticore head Dahlia that the password to Citadel's intelligence is "whydon'tyoufuckoff!" Bernard's more than just a comedic presence, though.
