Citadel Review: Priyanka’s Charm & Richard’s Fearlessness Brings An Engaging Trilling Tale

Citadel Review: Priyanka channels all her experience of headlining Bollywood tentpoles for decades while Richard’s bare-knuckle throwdowns have surely been perfected from his glorious Bodyguard past.

Show which was announced several years back finally came on Amazon Prime & Russo Brother’s, grand spy-thriller series Citadel is already winning hearts, courtesy to leads, Richard Madden who is as fearless as he is with sexy & bold Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

They bring all their big-budget acting/action chops to the fore, and there’s genuine chemistry between the two, as they flirt, banter and fight their way across zillions of villains. While Priyanka channels all her experience of headlining Bollywood tentpoles for decades while Richard’s bare-knuckle throwdowns have surely been perfected from his glorious Bodyguard past.

On the other hand, screenplay & storytelling of the show could have been better. At some point during the course of the first three episodes, you stop expecting Citadel to be a genre-defining showstopper among all the spy dramas we witness on-screen nowadays.

Unfortunately, Citadel tries too hard, and falls over itself while setting up a global franchise for years to come. Even with proven talent like the Russo brothers producing and showrunner David Weil at the helm, there’s just not enough buzz and way too much information to sustain our interest.
