Teheran

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.

This is such a refreshing change from the usual spy stuff, which tends to be US/UK/RUS/CN centric. It's an Israeli production that presents a very even-handed view of the relationship between Israel and Iran.

The plot-lines have been really well worked through Seasons 1 and 2. The pacing is good and there are plenty of twists and turns along the way. I binge-watched Season 2 in ONE DAY!

Athens does a good job as a stand-in for Tehran, in terms of the atmosphere and architecture they capture. It's great that the participants all speak their native tongues, too, instead of all English or Israeli.

And while the whole cast does a great job, I give special mention to Shaun Toub (Faraz). He is simply fantastic. Toub gives us such a nuanced portrayal that we feel both repulsion for some of his actions and, yet, by the end, we are rooting for him to survive because we can see that, while he might be misguided at times, he's a man of honour.

Terrific series! Another Apple TV+ cracker!

Apart from the accent that some of the actors have, they did an amazing job! They didn't even shoot a scene in iran!!! And wow, everything is just like here in iran!!! The police's behaviour, the secret agents and so many other things.

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.

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.
