An episode is out and if it clicks, the reactions arrive immediately after. See how it doesn't take long for the audience to follow the pulse of a show at the wealth of current social media attention. It feels like a soulless, frenzied expedition without purpose. It doesn't have a sense of its own- and assembles itself like a contradiction between age-old generic templates and modern sensibilities. The main problem with Citadel is it is a show that doesn't even try to build its own image. Now you’re Jason Bourne?” in a tense scene involving former spies, one can't help but wonder if there's anything more distancing than a show that doesn't take itself seriously in the first place.
What I am rather going to try is that when you place a piece of dialogue like, “You can’t even remember to put the toilet seat down.

The narrative is so obsessed with its amnesiac spies, jumping and flying back to the past every 15 minutes to reveal a hidden layer beneath a mission, that it forgets to inject some semblance of logic into it. No need to go to 8 years ago.īafflingly generic and plodding, Citadel arrives like a whimper while promising a storm.

To come back on track, something Citadel does very well with its infinite 8-year-ago flashbacks (more on that later), the promotions revealed how, the media attention was determined to stay focused only on the elements that came about in the development of the show.

No wonder there, as Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu were already signed on to star in the Indian adaptation of the series. With the promotions for one of the biggest, costliest ever shows ever made, the star talked about how the show came alive, and where it is headed. There was an entourage of media attention right ahead of the release of Prime Video's Citadel, on its star Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
