A masterpiece about failures of humanity...
Started watching without any context and was blown away by amazing story and the cast. Do yourself a favor and watch this mini series.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stateless is an intriguing dramatized take on a high-profile true story, effectively presented with equally intriguing intersecting stories. Cate Blanchett, even with her limited screentime, gives a great performance, and Yvonne Strahovski, known for her incredible turn on The Handmaid's Tale gives one of the best TV performances I have seen recently. Faysal Bazzi, meanwhile, is the heart of the show. Stateless jumps off with Sofie but gradually turns its spotlight on him towards the end. While not on the same level of nuance and experience as Strahovski, Blanchett, and West, Bazzi is affecting and unforgettable as Ameer. The rest of the cast give great to serviceable performances, but it also should be noted and commended that the show cast former refugees as background artists.

Stateless could have benefitted from a slightly tighter script for more "oomph" but as is, with a little patience, it is a well-researched, well-acted, and compelling piece.
