If, like me, you’re a sucker for a gripping spy thriller, then you are in luck. The compelling eight-part series, Lioness, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and Zoë Saldaña, is currently streaming on ITVX – and it’s climbing the streaming platform’s most-watched chart. The thriller, which comes from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and is described by ITV as “electrifying”, focuses on a military unit of female operatives who carry out dangerous undercover missions to befriend the wives and girlfriends of targets in the war on terror.
