Right now you can watch Citadel in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 546 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Richard Madden's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Citadel is worth clearing space for. The plotting in Citadel is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. What if you lost your memory? What if a spy didn't know they were a spy? Years ago, the top agents of Citadel, Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh, had their minds wiped. Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. The series ran for 2 seasons (2023–2026), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Citadel passes that test consistently. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Citadel delivers. The Night Manager is the obvious comparison, but Citadel earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Richard Madden carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.

Citadel is currently airing new episodes, created by Josh Appelbaum, David Weil and Bryan Oh — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
