Citadel season 2 review: A more Bond than Bourne vibe makes it better than dull S1; but Priyanka Chopra is a misfit now
  • Why Citadel Season 2 is a total glow-up.
  • The big vibe shift we’re loving!
  • Is Priyanka Chopra’s character a bit… lost?
  • Our honest thoughts on the new season.

Finally, some news about Citadel season 2! We just got a sneak peek at the new season, and guess what? It’s actually good! Remember how dull Season 1 felt? Gone.

This time around, the vibe is totally different. Think less serious Bourne, more fun, slick Bond movie. The whole aesthetic feels lighter, almost like they splashed some vibrant colors onto a grey canvas.

The dialogue? Much snappier. It’s quick. Witty. Keeps you hooked.

But here’s the catch. Priyanka Chopra, playing Nadia Sinh… well, her intense character feels a bit out of place now. The new, playful mood doesn’t quite match her serious persona. It’s like she’s still in the old show, and everyone else moved on.

Our Take

We think Citadel Season 2 is a definite step up. Big time! The shift to a more playful, spy-thriller aesthetic works wonders. It’s genuinely more entertaining.

However, the struggle is real for Nadia Sinh. Priyanka does her best, of course. But her character’s intensity just doesn’t blend with the new, lighter tone. Maybe they need a new mission for her. Or a whole new character arc. Just saying!
