  "account": "Taylor Sheridan's third season of the spy thriller series Lioness, starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, premiered on Paramount+ this past weekend and has been met with mostly positive early reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The season scored an 86% \"fresh\" critics' score, a significant improvement from the 54% \"rotten\" score of Season 1. Critics have praised the new episodes' increased action, heightened personal stakes, and the show's ability to reflect current geopolitical tensions. While most critics appreciate the lean and mean espionage thriller, one reviewer noted that it lacks the depth of Sheridan's other productions. The series continues to explore Joe McNamara's (Saldaña) balancing act between covert operations and family life.",
  "summary": "Taylor Sheridan’s \"Lioness\" Season 3, starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, is here, and Rotten Tomatoes critics are engaged in early reviews of the new episodes in the government spy series.",
