The writers of the overwhelmingly negative reviews of this gripping series are entitled to their opinions. However, they seem driven by a specific agenda and seem unduly fixated on minutiae.
Well, me too
Many of the negative critics claim to have direct experience with the subject matter. While Lioness may have enough technical flaws to keep it from qualifying as a special operations documentary, there are so many other details that it gets right—some of them surprisingly—that it stands head and shoulders above most of the programming it would compare itself to.
Lioness delivers, and how!
For example, I myself switched to Lioness after I started watching Heart of Stone. I usually like Gal Gadot, but I wanted to see something with a little more red meat.
From the action and plot to a cast of relatable characters, played by a truly stellar cast, it’s all eminently bingeable!
A woman wakes up locked in her house, injured, with no memory. Will she be able to figure out who will come back for her… before the doors are unlocked?

When a loyal police dog and his human police officer are injured on the job, a bunny-like but life-saving surgery brings the two together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is sworn to protect and serve – and to fetch, sit and roll. As Dog Man embraces his new identity and tries to impress his boss (Lil Rel Howery, Get Out, Free Guy), he must stop the rather evil machinations of feline supervillain Petey the Cat (Pete Davidson; Saturday Night Live, The King of Staten Island). Petey’s latest plan is to clone himself and create a kitten, Lil Petey, to double his criminal prowess. Things get complicated, however, when Lil Petey forms an unexpected bond with Dog Man. When Lil Petey finds himself in the clutches of a common enemy, Dog Man and Petey reluctantly join forces in an action-packed race against time to save the kitten. In the process, they discover the power of family (and kittens!) to unite even the most hostile enemies.

Fairytale of New York Written by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowan Performed by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl
This 6-part Netflix spy thriller promised a lot, but ultimately fell short of everything it could have been. Expectations were high, with a stellar cast including Keira Knightley as the ninja-kicking, gun-toting action hero and Ben Whishaw, her former mentor and current colleague. Both are operatives in a top-secret mercenary espionage organization called Black Doves, overseen by Sarah Lancashire and doing her best Judi Dench as "M" in a hideous platinum blonde wig.
The trio worked together, but alone, to uncover a grand conspiracy
It certainly starts with a bang as we see three young people murdered in central London. There’s a separate plot that deals with the death of China’s ambassador to Britain, whose party’s central daughter has also accidentally disappeared, threatening all sorts of international political controversy. It’s no big surprise that the two developments converge later on, with both stories overlapping with Knightley and Whishaw’s actions, not least because she’s married to the government’s defense minister.
She’s caught in the political fallout caused by the ambassador’s death, and she also had a passionate affair with one of the three killed at the start
other characters are brought into the kaleidoscopic story as Knightley and Whishaw are drawn deeper and deeper into an increasingly inscrutable plot while mountainous proportions pile up around them and around them, sometimes in their hands, while Whishaw still has time to rekindle an old romance. Sharply directed with believable acting from an A-list cast, for me it somehow failed on its early promise, flying off with an overwrought plot that relied too much on coincidence, gun violence and strange, idiosyncratic characters. When it all came together at the end, I felt like it had fallen somewhere between James Bond-style fantasy and Le Carre-style realism, and the escapism unfortunately won out in the end.
No need to waste time endlessly scrolling — here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month
When I started watching it, I had a tendency to, almost at first, binge watch all the remaining episodes, but after about episode 4, I’m afraid cracks started to show that no amount of sharp dialogue and quick jokes could make up for (and there were some good ones). It picked up again, becoming tense and exciting, even though it relied heavily on exposition and didn’t seem to know when to stop. Eventually, though, it did, and even did so with a “Die Hard”-style Christmas-time tie-in, but ultimately it all felt too jumbled, jumbled, and confusing to really work for me.
Ruby Yao, a 33-year-old single woman looking for love, finds herself at the center of a mystery.

Plot
When maple syrup producer Ruth Landry discovers her livelihood is under attack by greedy competitors who were once her friends, she concocts a plan to get revenge and turn the industry upside down. Loosely based on the 2011-2012 theft of $18 million worth of maple syrup.
Nice and sweet TV series!
The whole thing is good entertainment and nothing more. It is based on a true story, but.
Far from the real story you can google
It’s fast paced and short episodes make it even more appealing. And YES, as a local, everyone hates the Maple cartel and it highlights a real free trade issue.
So for my last 28 words I recommend you watch this show
I have no more to write but if I want this review to show that, I have to write six hundred characters minimum. So in my opinion this is a deterrent to many users who simply will NOT write anything of substance.
