Review of Tehran Series

 

An archenemy exists of every nation. Both cultural & political. Israel <-> Iran. India <-> Pakistan/Turkey. Russia <-> Ukraine/US. And the war behind the scenes is fought by respective Intelligence Agencies. Mossad, RAW, IB, CIA, KGB/FSB. Sometimes for, or against!

Tehran is one such series. A battle between Mossad & Iranian Intelligence. Politically, between Israel & Iran. From the quest of Tamar (the protagonist lady, Mossad agent) in denuclearization of Iran to assassination of Qasem (newly inducted head of Revolutionary Guard); via, Milad (her boyfriend in Iran), Peyman (Qasem’s son who was mistakenly killed in car race accident), Faraz (Investigation head of IRGC), Marjan (the Mossad agent in Iran).

This captivating mature cast, synced in the characters well; so as with the environment; one won’t be able to distinguish that it was shot in Athens.

It isn’t directed with a view in mind to appease or criticize any specific audience; yet, one would be betting for Tamar, Milad, Peyman, Faraz, Nahid & Marjan at the same time. Especially the Faraz-Nahid & part of Tamar-Milad bonding in S-2 is entrancing.

A well-crafted series, the epilogue was riveting. Worth a watch.
