What's the Story?

CITADEL: DIANA is set in Italy in 2030, when spy agency Citadel has been destroyed. Undercover Citadel agent Diana (Matilda De Angelis) finds herself working for enemy syndicate Manticore. She is stuck on the wrong side, lying to her sister about her life. But during an observation mission, Diana sees an opportunity to gain the upper hand and escape this world of secrecy. As Diana puts her trust in Manticore allies and enemies, it becomes harder to tell who the "good guys" are supposed to be.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

This series continues building the intricate (and at times convoluted) spy franchise. Citadel: Diana is fast-paced, violent, and complex. Fans of the Citadel universe will either be intrigued with the spin-off or get bogged down by the flashbacks and details. Parents should be aware of the language, violence, and sexual themes.
