Zoe Saldaña says Taylor Sheridan 'really sees women' as Lioness season three hits Paramount+

Zoe Saldaña is a big fan of the way Taylor Sheridan writes female characters.Season three of "Lioness" starts this Sunday on Paramount+, and that means Saldaña is running it back as CIA operator Joe.While "Lioness" might not pull the same attention as "Yellowstone," I think there's a strong argument to be made that it's Sheridan's best work.LAYSLA DE OLIVEIRA TEASES ‘LIONESS’ SEASON 3 DEBUT WITH BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOSThe show shines a light on the world of black operations in the CIA and military, with a focus on the women who serve in those shadowy and secretive roles.One of the main (and completely unjustified) criticisms of Sheridan is that he can't write solid female characters. It's comical considering "Lioness" is about strong female characters, and Beth in "Yellowstone" might be the overall strongest character he's written on TV.Now, Saldaña is making it crystal clear that Sheridan knows exactly what he's doing, and does it at a very high level.ALI LARTER DEFENDS TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S WRITING OF FEMALE CHARACTERS, CALLING CRITICISM A 'FALSE NARRATIVE'"If there’s one thing that I love the most, it’s men that really see women, and know how to write women.
