Review: ‘Citadel: Diana,’ like its predecessor, is an ambitious project packed with action, adventure, and style, set in a universe teeming with spies, moles, and double agents. Teased at the end of 'Citadel,' featuring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra, this season follows a similar formula. The independent spy agency Citadel is once again intent on dismantling Manticore, the powerful European syndicate operating from Italy, France, and Germany, employing high-tech weaponry and sleek, covert operations. Despite its full array of spy thriller elements, the series falls flat, offering nothing fresh or ground-breaking. The makers rely on a non-linear narrative to add intrigue to an otherwise simple story, but even this ploy fails to deliver a truly riveting watch.

Set in the year 2030, ‘Citadel: Diana’ follows Diana Cavalieri (Matilda De Angelis), a Citadel agent planted as a mole within Manticore. She joined Citadel after discovering that Manticore was responsible for the plane crash that killed her parents. Driven by a desire for revenge, she is trained by Citadel veteran Gabriele (Filippo Nigro) to infiltrate the syndicate. Just as Diana plans to disappear and leave the world of espionage behind, she receives unexpected help from Eduardo Zani (Lorenzo Cervasio), heir to Manticore Italy and son of the ruthless Ettore Zani (Maurizio Lombardi), who is playing his own power games against his German and French counterparts. As alliances shift and betrayals unfold, Diana must navigate a dangerous web of deceit, where trust is a rare and costly commodity.

With the Russo Brothers at the helm, this spy thriller struggles to hold your attention beyond a point. While the series has several intriguing elements, many feel underdeveloped. Gabriel, the Citadel agent who trains Diana to infiltrate Manticore, is a particularly compelling character, but his story remains largely unexplored. Much of the series focuses on Manticore, with little attention given to Citadel itself, which was destroyed by Manticore eight years prior. There's not much insight into how Citadel plans to rebuild or exact revenge. The series lacks the tension and sharpness essential to a gripping espionage drama. However, filmed in Italy, it effectively captures the local flavour, with the plot tied to the region’s culture.

Matilda De Angelis shines as Diana, the undercover Citadel agent, delivering a strong performance in both the dramatic and action-packed scenes. Her interactions with her sister and trainer offer glimpses of her acting range in a series largely defined by action. Maurizio Lombardi impresses as Ettore Zani, the head of Manticore Italy, suspicious of Diana’s activities. His cool demeanour and sharp Italian style stand out. However, the real scene-stealer is Lorenzo Cervasio as Eduardo Zani, Ettore’s son and heir to Manticore Italy. Lorenzo’s calm, calculated approach, even when surrounded by enemies, is captivating. His sharp instincts and ability to anticipate threats make his performance highly credible.

Unfortunately, the basic plot and screenplay let the series down, failing to keep viewers engaged. The meeting between the heads of the Italian, French, and German Manticore branches feels outdated, with their hideout resembling a 70s-style mountain den. While the series boasts high-octane action, gadgets, and advanced tech, the lack of a gripping, edge-of-your-seat plot undermines their impact on the overall storyline.
