The latest “Lioness” episode set the internet on fire.
Taylor Sheridan’s hit CIA/military thriller is one of the best shows on TV, and it’s built a rabid following. Episode 6 of Season 3 premiered Sunday on Paramount+, and the series is officially off to the races as Joe’s team races to rescue her from her kidnappers.
Sheridan continues to prove he can take things to a new level on a weekly basis, and viewers are buzzing after what they saw Sunday.

“Lioness” fans react to crazy episode.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW.
Episode 6 – “Sugar Land” – saw a major reveal in the closing moments when Joe was handed off to an Iranian extraction team.
In what can only be described as an absolutely bone-chilling scene, it is laid out in brutal terms what awaits her in Iran. A fate far worse than death.

The Iranian agent then proceeded to cut her toe off. It was a shocking moment, but I would argue it wasn’t even the craziest moment of the episode.
The coolest moment was by far when Kyle and two Delta Force operators found the Iranian plane waiting to fly her out of the USA.
A bloody and epic gun battle unfolded on the tarmac, and happened with such lightning speed that it was mind-boggling. It’s clear that whoever is advising Sheridan on the series knows what they’re doing. Everything about the Delta Force shootout scene felt incredibly real.

Reactions were also quick to pour in on Reddit to the episode. Check out some below:
- Seems like Oleksandra has been this season’s Lioness. Never thought of it till now. She’s been so useful.
- Ya’ll are crazy. This episode was awesome. Especially the airport shootout.
- Gotta say, I love the music in this show.
- Babat is scary as f***. His dialog actually gave me goosebumps.
- Neal not knowing that the media & the powers that be manipulate the news is wild.
- I will gladly watch the weekly propaganda to see what Kyle can do.
- I really vibe with the political messaging in this season. It’s about time a major series mentions the problematic interference from China and Russia in every level of American society.
- “There’s a third option ——> You could kill yourself,” Joe cold blooded
- I hope Joe gets rescued before the hell (Babat) that’s waiting for her. This was one of the most thrilling episodes of this season. You can see the desperation in the QRF team.
- Omg. What an episode!! For a second I thought that Belarus agent was going to help her! Airport shootout with Kyle’s guys was amazing. Oleksnadra really helped them. Finding out who is behind all this was scary. I need next episode asap. Cruz is going to take them all downnnn
- Babat is terrifying as all hell!
- This show is amazing. I need more.
Now, there are two more episodes left in Season 3, and the race to find Joe is winding down. Hopefully, fans get a very violent conclusion, which is what the entire season has been building up. Hit me with your best theories at [email protected].
