 What did you watch?

 
Lioness (Pee+) - First two episodes of season #2.
    Ep. #2.1 is a barn-burner - Cartel types enter the El Paso(?) house
of a U.S. Congresswoman, kill her husband and child, and kidnap her.
Without even her own team (who were not in ep. #2.1 at all), Joe is
ordered into Mexico to retrieve the Congresswoman, though she's backed
by a team consisting of Max Martini (The Unit) and Taylor Sheridan
himself!! They retrieve the Congresswoman with EXTREME PREJUDICE! - I
love how they just eliminated the banditos like swatting flies. Then
they waste probably about three dozen Mexican federales and Mexican army
troops on the way back to the border!

An mini-gun on an aerial platform can really ruin your day.

    Ep. #2.2 brings back Joe's team (sans Cruz), along with Martini and
Sheridan, and CIA bro Kyle (Thad Luckinbill, who's now main cast in
season #2, along with Michael Kelly and Morgan Freeman) for their new
mission - plant a new lioness inside the Cartel to track down the
Chinese Intelligence operative who organized the original kidnapping.
The new lioness? - A U.S. Army(?) captain and chopper pilot who also
happens to be the niece of the Cartel's head.

It bothered me that they kept referring to her as an Apache pilot, really
driving that point home, but when she first shows up, it's behind the stick of
a modified Blackhawk.
