We can't deny that Citadel had one of the most extravagant promotions prior to the show's premiere. They flew to India and Rome and did everything they could to capitalise on the hype. Not to mention the money they spent on production.?
However, as the episodes began to stream, some fans were overjoyed and liked the narrative and just about everything, but another segment of the audience was left completely perplexed by a poor plot and average performance.
If you read the preceding line carefully, you'll see that I stated this being the first season. Despite widespread criticism, the show has been renewed for a second season.
Citadel, starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden, has been officially renewed for a second season by Prime Video. The actor also announced the news on Instagram, encouraging fans to watch all episodes of the series, which are now available to watch online. David Weil will serve as showrunner for the second season, while Joe Russo will direct all of the episodes in season two.
(Spoilers Ahead!)
Secrets in Night Need Early Rains is yet another confusing episode that picks up where the last one left off.
The episode takes us back 30 years to a medical camp in Serbia. The camera focuses on a small Mason-like child. The story then jumps to Oregon, where a lady looks after the same child.?
Additionally, Mason's father died when he was five years old, and his mother abandoned him. As a result, he's always felt lost.
Dahlia is now capturing Nadia and Mason in Morocco. She orders Kyle/Mason to carry out a task in the submarine because it has something she is looking for. In the previous episode, she informs Mason that she has kidnapped his daughter. If Mason does not comply, she will murder his daughter.?
The series is frequently predictable. We also get to meet Mason and Nadia's child. Kyle's family also gathers for a reunion. Spence discovers a way to restore Mason's memory after obtaining a backup.
So many plot twists and jumping back and forth in time have made each episode difficult to follow and eventually dull and skippable. After seeing all of the episodes, one understands very little about the intelligence agency and its problems. It's quite frustrating that the tale and significance of these characters can barely be understood.
Ask me what¡¯s good? Richard Madden¡¯s skydive.
Season 1 was nothing but an average spy drama. Will season 2 be any better? Only time will tell.
Citadel is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
