It’s been a bit since I managed to catch up with Jed Mercurio’s political espionage thriller series, Bodyguard. That was my intro to Richard Madden in the wake of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ success with hit series, Quantico, so it’s easy to see the package deal that both actors now offer as the official trailer for Amazon Prime’s April 28 launch of new series, Citadel is now online following a brief delay.
Michael Mason is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar, the field agent on the case, soon realizes that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy. Going against commands, Briar recruits Michael to use his expert pickpocketing skills to help quickly track down the source of the corruption. As a 24-hour thrill ride ensues, the unlikely duo discover they are both targets and must rely upon each other in order to take down a common enemy.
