I was expecting this to be pretty bold-faced Israeli propaganda and I'm happy to report after having seen the entire season that it is not that. This show follows Israeli spies as the protagonists, but Israel is presented as flawed and occasionally brutal (if ultimately justified), meanwhile the Iranians in the show get to be fully fleshed relatable humans rather than evil monsters. It's a pretty fair portrayal where everyone gets to be human. The real villain is the hyper-conservative religious leadership.

As a show, it's middling. The initial set-up is good, then it feels like they were told they had to stretch the show over more episodes than originally planned, and it quickly became aimless from the middle on. It gets bogged down in a love story and a side plot about young Iranian rebels. The season ends on a very bland note, way too many (ironically predictable) double-crosses and last minute twists, and does not leave me very exciting for a potential season 2.

@jygglypuffdaddy Thank you for the review. I'm tempted to add to my queue with Glenn Close added to the cast of season 2 + Mossad spy story. However the trailer along with your review point to a dull theatrical intrigue. Israeli based military thrillers of the 70s/80s were gripping for their humanity and focus on dramatic tension born of the survival of a people. Today, examples such as Tehran with its dark mood lighting and panic music just feels folded into the 24/7-dread-saga staple of cable "news" programming. The Angel (2018) has that throwback aesthetic and looks more intriguing to add to my queue (reviews are middling—but still more appealing to me.). The Spy (2019) with Sacha Baron Cohen sort of toggles between old-fashioned moral dilemma driven and modern action thriller—but Cohen is amazing and the story perhaps more worthy.

Tehran is a show that's more intense than a game of matka, and more suspenseful than a game of Persian chess. It's got more twists and turns than a Tehran bazaar, and more drama than a Persian soap opera.

The show follows the story of a Mossad agent who goes undercover in Tehran, Iran to complete a mission. Along the way, she meets a cast of Iranian characters who are as complex as a Persian rug, and the show does a great job of exploring the cultural differences and tensions between Iran and Israel.

From what I've seen, the show is beautifully shot and the acting is top-notch. It's a show that's both thrilling and thought-provoking, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're interested in learning more about Iranian culture or just want to be entertained.

Overall, Tehran is a show that's as addictive as Iranian tea, and it's a great example of how television can be used to bridge cultural gaps and spark important conversations. So, if you're looking for a show that's both entertaining and educational, then Tehran is definitely worth a watch!

I actually like the series so far, eps 2, but you can't be on the Iranian's side as their human rights are brutal, nor can you be on the side of the Israeli's as they are shits and their politics stink. So just remain neutral and take it as a tv series and you'll enjoy it.....

If you’re a fan of Fauda and were expecting any of the same sort of well-written storyline and interesting characters of that show then you’ll probably be very disappointed. Four episodes in and I have nothing good to say about this show at all yet. The main character feels more like an Instagram influencer thrown into the world of spies rather than the trained Mossad agent/hacker she’s supposed to be. Every character on this show is dull and forgettable so far. Oh and the coincidences that occur just to keep the poorly-written story afloat are way too numerous. You’d think Athens, erm I mean Tehran is a tiny city of 2000 people as often as characters “accidentally” cross paths in this show. It really is just a mess. Cool opening music, that’s about it.
