Citadel 2 review: Priyanka Chopra-Kishore Kumar crossover is most striking flourish of this flashy series
Citadel season 2 review: Joe Russo took matters into his hands with season 2 of Citadel by helming all the episodes. One half of the directors of
Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, he tries to recreate the template that made all these blockbusters emotionally resonant — balancing scale and slickness with emotion and gravitas. The second instalment is certainly a step above the forgettable first season, but it still has the emotional depth of a video game. Citadel season 2 starts exactly where the first part left us — Stanley Tucci’s top spy Bernard Orlick whips up a quick recap to get us up to speed with the events of season 1. After watching him tied to a chair for most part, it’s a relief to see him go all Jason Statham and get his hands dirty with some solid action. Fresh off The Devil Wears Prada 2, it’s all the more rewarding to see him burn the benevolent bad guy with a snarky barb, “The nobility in this room is so thick you can cut it with a plastic spoon.” Hey Russos, bring him back into the MCU already!
