In my opinion, Lioness is arguably best described as a progressive fictional action adventure show. The story is very loosely based on a unit created by the U.S. Marines, who employed women soldiers to search and question suspect Islamic female insurgents at checkpoints in Iraq, this unit was later disbanded when they were no longer required. All in all it was a clever choice of subject to create a scripted series that ticks all the studio boxes by Sheridan. I do miss the all male military / action mini-series, made without any nationalistic pretension.
I still never quite figured out if the early part of season 1 was satire or not with over how patriotic and pro-military it was. Compared to what the show was actually about. I did enjoy it and will watch the new season.
