To cut a high-octane, blood-spurting, eardrum-lacerating story short, the mission doesn’t go as planned.

As well as buff, square-jawed agent Mason Kane (a sharp-suited, smouldering Richard Madden), there is his scarlet-garbed, femme fatale colleague Nadia Sinh ( Priyanka Chopra Jonas).Īt first, when Kane and Sinh collide you think it’s a standard testosterone-oestrogen meet-cute, but it isn’t long before they’re leadenly flirting/sniping the way characters do when they have history. Forget the knackered beta charm of Slow Horses, in which Gary Oldman’s tobacco-stained Jackson Lamb wheezes around the place like his lungs are on loan from the Chernobyl props department Citadel is defiantly, sometimes exhaustingly alpha.
