Citadel: Tell Her Everything (2023)
Season 1, Episode 4
4/10
Now it's just dumb
12 May 2023
Five minutes into episode 4 and I had to turn it off. Mason not being good at close-quarter combat can be excused since he's unable to regain his memories (an already dumb idea), but Nadia has been restored and still has no idea how to handle a weapon of take out opponents by hand.

Again, these were supposed to be elite agent, yet Nadia fires a few shots and then inexplicably starts fighting with her weapon still in hand, even using it as a blunt instrument which puts her at risk of losing it or having it taken away. No one would stop shooting to start beating an enemy instead of using a single head shot to take them out. Worse, it keeps happening. They also seem to have only brought one magazine of ammo (perhaps a lazy excuse for the clunky hand-to-hand?).

Citadel is supposed to be an elite covert agency yet everyone we've seen is incompetent, whether allowing enemy agents to walk away or getting themselves captured over and over.

This show looks more like the dumbed-down trash put out by network television than a streaming show with no creative constraints. I guess you can;t constrain what isn't there.
