Okay so seriously who is writing Citadel and are they
A) an AI trained on spy movie trailers but not actual full movies
B) crying quietly in a dark room somewhere after 14 layers of Amazon senior management "improved" their scripts to make them "easier to understand"
C) random PAs they hired for cheap to stitch scenes together after spending all their money on actors and miscellaneous stunts and sex scenes filmed before the script was written
I really want to know because otherwise I just can't UNDERSTAND how this is so boring and bad. Everyone is hot and the basic premise is what if Jason Bourne had a family for eight years and only then got pulled back into spy life with female James Bond he loved, which is a gimme and should be endless stupid popcorn fun and instead it's just DULL! Every line is generic and leaden and rarely connects in a functional way with the very next line! WHY.
OH and for thirty seconds in episode 3, I thought, oh wow they've done a mildly clever thing instead of the boring irritating thing I thought they were doing; great maybe now it'll pick up and then NO they didn't do anything interesting with the mildly clever thing.
On the other hand I do still seem to be watching each episode because Richard Madden everyone IS hot but it makes me feel like that person in the morosexual post. :P
