    Badly written, badly acted, badly shot, cheaply made. Did I mention the bad writing?

    Incredibly boring. Characters are stiff and wooden. The plot is dull and meandering. Deeply unpleasant to watch, and hard to sit through. I don’t understand why Apple made this show. The only reason it’s getting good critic ratings is because it has Muslim women in hijabs for forced diversity

    It’s not a stretch to say that Tehran is certainly a good-looking, well-acted series. Sultan is excellent as the conflicted Tamar, and Toub, whom Americans have seen in Homeland and a ton of other shows, does a great job as Kamali.

    Strip away the subtitles and the beautiful yet subtlety alien Middle East vistas and what’s left is essentially a gender-swapped Bourne Identity. But Zonder orchestras the tension masterfully, crafting a thriller as stylish as it is heart-stopping.

    As television, the show, created by Moshe Zonder (previously the head writer of Israeli series “Fauda”) is flawed: At least a few episodes too long, lacking plausibility or tension, turgid when it wants to be zippy. ... “Tehran” doesn’t exclude Iranians entirely, but does frame them as allies or obstacles of a Mossad mission depicted uncritically and somewhat blankly as the work of justice, and more than that as a vehicle for thrills and scares.
