There’s something fun about the idea of an amnesiac spy, the need to reconcile the person you are now - inevitably boring and domesticated, but probably happy - with the person you were and the things you did. Oh, and where is Nadia in all of this? Stay tuned! Only Citadel can set things right, except that there’s no more Citadel. But the world needs Mason Kane now more than ever, as Manticore has orchestrated years of terrorist activities that made the rich richer and the poor more terrified. If they were, Citadel would be an even briefer show, and each of the three episodes sent to critics comes in at under 40 minutes.Įight years later, Mason has a wife (Ashleigh Cummings) and daughter (Caoilinn Springall) and no memories at all of his life before. Mason and Nadia bicker and banter in an assortment of languages before everything goes pear-shaped in a series of fights and double-crosses culminating in disaster, with Mason and Nadia left for dead. Their adversaries? A nefarious assemblage of oligarchs calling themselves “Manticore.” They work, we quickly learn, for an organization called Citadel, liaising with tech genius Bernard Orlick ( Stanley Tucci) off in a command center somewhere. Secret agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) are on a generic mission to stop some guy with a bag full of enriched uranium. The first three episodes peak within the opening 10 minutes, with a rousing introductory scene set on a fast-moving train zipping through the Italian Alps.

I’m not saying most of them did it better or worse, just that finding something original in Citadel, or anything original to say about Citadel, is nigh on impossible. Fans of stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden will at least get some desired eye candy, but more generally curious viewers will struggle.įor all of its globally expansive, forward-looking aspirations, Citadel had me mostly looking backward and thinking of the sci-fi and spy shows that covered the same ground previously.

Instead, whatever its initial ambition happened to be, Citadel is just innocuously basic. If you’ve followed industry reporting and scuttlebutt related to a burgeoning budget, showrunner changes and extensive reshoots, you might expect Citadel to be some sort of disaster, all mismatched pieces and jagged narrative edges.
