I am e huge fan of the action-spy movies and TV series. "Citadel" is right there in my alley.
I think the story is good, it is well acted and has a great cast. The music reminds me of James Bond, which is great. The action scenes and the cinematography are good enough to be considered satisfactory.
My critique is the following:The flashback narrative technique, may work in literature or in soap opera, but in this genre of movies or TV series not so much. They achieve the opposite, making the story annoying, and to lose momentum.
The sound track and suspense music is hit and miss: sometimes exaggerated at the wrong times, out of context, completely disrupting the flow of the story. It's something that if you notice, it's always a bad thing, and it may change your perception of the whole series.
There are some interesting moments here, but not enough, and there is too much drama. This show fall into the spectrum of mediocrity.
