Line of Events
CIA agent Joe tries to balance her personal and professional life as the spearhead of the CIA’s war on terror. Real military advisors helped to more authentically recreate weapons handling, house clearing, positioning, squad activities, etc. Mr. Sheridan knows how to take us into testosterone-soaked macho worlds, with no cliches and seemingly no agendas. It is what it is.
No apologies needed
His characters are always grounded and he is extremely adept at casting. But to be great, you have to write good roles for women. The script has to be just as good, if not better, than for men. Guys are easy. Women are smarter, more complex.
They are strong and compelling
Beth in Yellowstone (great character and great performance), the barrel riders, the lone ranch hand (the fantastic Jen Landon as Teeter) – all great female characters who fit into the world of the story in a natural, unforced way. Not just “the partner of…” or T & A. He upped his game with the excellent character Faith Hill, devastatingly played in 1883, followed by Dame Mirren in the flop 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).
Veracity comes first!
I buy De Oliveira as a broken woman with a burning rage who won’t give up, and thank you, thank you, thank you to the writers/directors/producers for NOT letting her beat a male comrade with 100 pounds more muscle. I find her character much more interesting when she’s someone who needs to be knocked unconscious or simply overpowered on the ground before she gives up. Are we talking about Jill Wagner now, or should I be talking about her hair? What a turnaround! From cheesy Hallmark trash to super cool special forces?
I’ll buy that
Special mention: Ms. Lanier and the mean teenage daughter. I’m eagerly awaiting the story arc that will be set up for this loose canon, as long as they continue to avoid the teen angst cliche. Good acting, it could be interesting…
