Tehran

As a Iranian I like this series.

It's shows the reality without uncensored It's one of best middle Eastern series!

The actors of this series speak in 3 languages and it's valuable Thanks to the director and creators of this series.

I am not entirely certain why but I think I prefer this to Homeland.

This isn't as slick or as expensive. But the characters seem more genuine. I caught up with the episodes very quickly and I have to wait a week for each new one and it seems a long wait each week.

I was going to give a 7 due to some plot weaknesses and the lead's rather angst-ridden performance but then I decided that compared to other current thrillers, it deserved an 8.

To me, knowing nothing of the settings and customs, it looked pretty realistic for a fictional story. Would anyone REALLY expect it to be filmed in Iran?

I was pleased that both the Iranian regime and Mossad/Israeli regime were shown as the bad guys with civilians and lesser ranks caught between them. It seemed like a fair balance.

I liked the plot twists and the standard of production.

I did think towards the middle that it was going to turn into an Iranian soap/travelogue but it pulled itself together and I was glad that I continued watching.

The first season of Tehran was very very good even if the mossad agent seemed to be incapable of sticking to orders. The second season however is notches above the first. The main reason is the addition of the undercover psychiatrist played by Glen Close. Every episode, every scene actually is full of suspense. The whole second season is edge of your seat great. I am hoping that apple sees fit to do a third season but it may be difficult to live up to the standards of the first two. All of the characters are completely believable and you feel as though you are actually in Iran watching spies compete everywhere.

A spy on her way to do her thing but things go awry. the lead actor, the spy woman is perfect at playing the intruder in Tehran. i care for the character she plays. but also the anty spy game is impressive. higly enterteining. watch it.
