Line of Events
CIA agent Joe tries to balance his personal and professional life as the spearhead of the agency’s war on terror. Real military advisors helped produce a more authentic execution of weapons handling, house cleaning, positioning, teamwork, etc. Nominated in the Soberano Awards (2024). Sheridan knows how to present us with a macho, testosterone-fueled world without clichés and seemingly no hidden agendas. It is what it is.
Guys are simple
His characters are always grounded and he is extremely skilled at casting roles. But to be great, you have to write great roles for women. The script has to be as good, if not better, than the men’s. Women are smarter and more complex. Beth in Yellowstone (great character and performance), the barrel riders, the single woman who works on the ranch (the fantastic Jen Landon as Teeter) – all great female characters who fit naturally into the world of the story.
They are strong and compelling
Not just ‘sidekick…’ or T&A. He upped his game with Faith Hill’s excellent performance in 1883 and then Dame Mirren’s misfire in 1923. Now we have Zoe Saldana doing some of the best work of her career. I absolutely buy her as the CIA chief in an open marriage (nice touch). I buy De Oliveira as a broken woman with a burning rage who refuses to give up, and thank you, thank you, thank you writers/directors/producers for NOT letting her take down a brother-in-arms with a hundred extra pounds of muscle.
I buy it
First of all, truthfulness! I think her character is much more interesting if she’s someone who needs to be knocked out or just knocked to the ground before she gives up. Now let’s talk about Jill Wagner, or should I say her hair? What a plot twist! From Hallmark cheesiness to super-tough special forces?
Honorable Mention: Mrs
Lanier as the obnoxious teenage daughter. I’m looking forward to the arc this loose canon presents, as long as they stay away from the teen angst cliché. Good actor, could be interesting…
