Taylor Sheridan tries his hand at a different genre within the overall Action category with "Lioness", its success clearly resting on the capable shoulders of Zoe Saldana. She's been in many hits lately and certainly is capable of carrying this project to the finish line. With supporting players of the caliber of Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman on tap, he's hedged his bets, and I especially enjoyed the second segment, spotlighting a very powerful fighter Laurys de Oliveira, whose training is grueling and of interest because Sheridan manages to go past the standard level of say a "Quantico" series, while providing enough tease and bondage action to get one's attention, delivers a very strong performance, and it will be interesting to see how the series delivers once it goes into full "Seal Team" action on steroids. I enjoyed Taylor's movie starring a strong female -with Angelina Jolie, but it flopped. I'll bet Zoe attracts a larger audience.
