Two agents who had their memories erased are brought back for an urgent mission in this series from the Russo brothers (Avengers Endgame), starring Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (The Matrix Resurrections) alongside Oscar nominees Stanley Tucci and Lesley Manville.

Eight years ago, Citadel fell. The independent global spy agency—tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people—was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel’s fall, elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They’ve remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts.

Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Mason seeks out his former partner, Nadia, and the two spies embark on a mission that takes them around the world in an effort to stop Manticore, all while contending with a relationship built on secrets, lies, and a dangerous-yet-undying love.

"A $300 million disaster for Amazon."

—

Rolling Stone

"There’s enough stupid-fun to be had that you’ll get your money’s worth, even if I can’t say the same for Amazon."

—

IndieWire

"It’s stupid, but it’s also sleek, sexy, and incredibly fun to watch."

—

Decider

"Starts off semi-stupid and quickly nosedives into unrelenting idiocy."

—

The Globe and Mail

"Citadel may be hard to take seriously, but it’s even harder to stop watching."

—

San Francisco Chronicle

"An old-fashioned spy yarn with state-of-the-art action."

—

CNN

"A Bourne ripoff with no identity."

—

Slash Film

"Loudly and proudly reads from the big book of spy thriller cliches..."

—

We Got This Covered

"Never (tries) to put on airs as something more than top-notch spy camp."

"Big, basic..."

"Formulaic and busy -- splashy -- yet still manages to be kind of dull."

—

Chicago Tribune

"(Chopra Jonas, Madden, and Tucci) try their best, but is it enough to save the show’s sterile script? God no."

—

A.V. Club

"There are just about enough action scenes to dilute the brute force of relentless exposition and plot contrivance..."

—

Financial Times

"The series picks up considerably as Chopra Jonas’ Nadia becomes more involved..."

—

Total Film

"It’s difficult to care overly about the geo-political twaddle... but standing as it does at a daffy halfway point between late-season Alias and the camp end of the Bond spectrum, there’s gigglesome enjoyment to be had."
