Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has quite the discrepancy in the responses to the two seasons.

In Season 1, there were a total of 36 critics’ reviews analyzed, with approximately 56% of them being favorable. On the other hand, for Season 2, we have only 10 critic reviews so far, yet a remarkable 90% of these reviews have been positive.

In their review, the Daily Telegraph described season 1 as an action-packed thriller that delves only superficially. It lacked the intricate storylines found in Homeland, and its dialogue had a predictable, overly dramatic quality reminiscent of Top Gun.

Empire Magazine remarked that while Taylor Sheridan’s newest television series sometimes strays into implausible territory, it effectively combines intense espionage action with personal issues, creating a largely engaging overall experience.

According to The Times of India’s review, Season 2 of Lioness is a significant improvement over the first season, offering a more captivating storyline while remaining faithful to the original show’s essence. It’s described as being more daring, exhilarating, and boasting stronger character development.

“You can find Lioness streaming on Paramount+ right now. Plus, Season 1 will be available on ITVX starting from September 7th, and Season 2 is scheduled for release in 2026.”
