Tehran (serial)

A Mossad agent enters Iran undercover in a plot to disable air-defense systems and allow an Israeli attack on nuclear facilities. The agent is relatively new to undercover work. Her family connections to Iran are what make her the ideal candidate. In fact, there are Persian-Jewish connections throughout this series that is really interesting - highlighting again that fact that people groups and family and culture are generally unrelated to national boundaries and politics. In many ways, this is a classic spycraft series and it is done well, with appropriate near-misses and improvisations and moral-fine-line-walking. 

4 stars (out of 5)
