Lioness (2023– )
10/10
Inspired by real events from the War on Terror

I have to laugh at the all the down-voting tough guys here, blathering on that no woman could ever..., it's impossible, blah blah blah. They're the type of men that drove so many women into the overcrowded women's shelter featured early on in the first episode.

It says it on the tin, "Inspired by an actual US Military program...as the tip of the CIA's spear in the war on terror." With the extensive use of military hardware and footage, it obviously has the backing of the US military.

If Audie Murphy hadn't been widely lionized and publicized as a winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, how many people would believe that a 5' 4" grade school dropout, weighing 112 lb, was America's greatest ever WWII hero?

How soon these tough keyboard warriors forget that the CIA operative who tracked down Bin Ladin was a woman who was subjected to much of the same criticism and sexist stereotyping that inspires these 'military experts' to give this show one or two stars.

It's not the best 'war on terror' show I've seen, but it's pretty good and if inspires at least one young woman to join the armed forces and achieve even some of the feats shown here, that's a good thing for America and womanhood around the world.
