Citadel Series Review by Sucharita Tyagi - Citadel the show is Russo brothers at the flashiest, but also kinda basic? Show ki likhai ya direction ek kshan ke liye bhi kisi ko challenge karne ya kisi social imbalance ko address karne mein zero ruchi rakhti hai. Leslie Manville ko dekh kar bada achambha hua, lekin koi complaints nahi hain, mujhey bhi design kapdo mein “we’ll create a new order, its only a matter of time” kehne ka mauka miley in cinematic lighting, I will also say. Kab tak bechari soul stirring cinema mein bhaag leti rahengi? So, the Russos and creator David Weil ne ikhatti kari hai cast as a smokescreen for actual storytelling, most of which is anyway derivative of every spy movie you’ve ever seen. Again, abhi sirf do hi episode dekhein hain, and I will be MORE THAN HAPPY to be sucked into the rest of the show, Kumail Nanjiani ki series Chippendales ki tarah bilkul taiyaar hoon main mainstream melodrama se bhi surprise hone ke liye, dikhaao mujhey bum dhamaake set pieces, but perhaps a little more complex and little less outlandish than “we erased your memories, but here is an injection said memories are stored in”.
