The cast, filming, photography and general ambiance of the series is excellent, the viewer is on edge the whole time.

It is based onThe cast, filming, photography and general ambiance of the series is excellent, the viewer is on edge the whole time. The reason for such a bad score, is that the topic and its delivery is nothing short of Israeli propaganda. It is based on Mosad agents coming into Iran to enable the bombing of a nuclear research facility. So clearly, the Iranians are the bad guys, and Israelis the good ones. This bears little on the reality of the world at the moment. Neither country can boast being representative of their populations, and the secret services in each are awful.… Expand

Meh. It's a cut rate Homeland with a star who lacks even a fraction of Clair Danes' charm. What a stupid premise that is poorly executed.

With a story set against the backdrop of a still explosive situation one would guess some people would feel emotionally sensitive about the whole situation. The story telling and the suspense on the other hand are brilliant. The series givesWith a story set against the backdrop of a still explosive situation one would guess some people would feel emotionally sensitive about the whole situation. The story telling and the suspense on the other hand are brilliant. The series gives one a peak into to conflicting aspects of war and sets the different interests against each other. The courage and passion of people to fight for what they believe is right but on direct opposite sides. Makes one think about war and its devastating effects. Brilliant series that gets my 10/10… Expand

Une série d’espionnage israélienne qui n’est pas sans rappeler notre (excellente) série nationale à nous, Le Bureau des Légendes, sauf qu’ici nous suivons les tribulations du Mossad en infiltration chez les barbus radicalisés… à Téhéran,Une série d’espionnage israélienne qui n’est pas sans rappeler notre (excellente) série nationale à nous, Le Bureau des Légendes, sauf qu’ici nous suivons les tribulations du Mossad en infiltration chez les barbus radicalisés… à Téhéran, capitale de la dictature islamiste.

Un réalisme certain est de rigueur dans cette première saison de 8 épisodes, ainsi que pas mal de moyens déployés ; la réalisation est d’ailleurs de haute volée et les comédiens assez convaincants. L’héroïne est gracieuse et vraiment très jolie mais sans doute pas aussi convaincante pour sa part (la part du lion ou de la lionne plutôt) qui concerne évidemment le rôle premier et principal.

En tout cas, on ne s’ennuie pas une seconde et l’ensemble n’est pas avare de surprises ou de rebondissements, surtout vers la fin… comme de coutume, il peut se trouver dans ces cas de figure quelques agents doubles qui s’avèrent des agents triples ou quadruples, voire plus si affinités !

L’ambiance volontiers paranoïde est très bien restituée dans cette ville sous le joug de la tyrannie religieuse fanatisée avec les conséquences que cela peut avoir des deux côtés, à savoir chez les illuminés du turban ou chez les « résistants » : c’est très instructif et pas si manichéen que ça, en définitive, car le Renseignement israélien est bien connu pour son pragmatisme…

Ajoutons que la musique à tenance électro est bien agréable et que la fin un peu précipitée mais palpitante est assez abrupte… peut-être verrons-nous une saison 2 qui précisera tout cela. En l’état et quoi qu’il en soit, « Theran » reste une série très recommandable et fort bien fichue.

Et justement, la saison 2 ne déçoit pas, bien au contraire ! elle s’avère encore meilleure, mieux rythmée, menée tambour battant du début à la fin… au prix cependant de raccourcis qui mettent un peu à mal la vraisemblance scénaristique… mais on y gagne au change, tout compte fait : une saison palpitante, rebondissante, quasi-parfaite !… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tehran is certainly a well acted series most of all. The writing and acting makes you develop emotions towards each of them. One thing Tehran does well is building up suspense and (SPOILER ALERT) final episode provides everything I wanted and more. One problem I would say is the realism and the lack of explanation for Israel's actions during Season 1 and sometimes it does hurt the series. The acting is good and even though a lot of the dialogue is in Arabic (I presume) as long as you have subtitles its good. Overall it is a good series that I would recommend people watch.… Expand

I agree 100% with Variety's review. Clearly, the creators of the show have done an outstanding job in portraying Tehran - the city - and adding some much appreciated dimension of reality to the story. But that's where it ends. The story isI agree 100% with Variety's review. Clearly, the creators of the show have done an outstanding job in portraying Tehran - the city - and adding some much appreciated dimension of reality to the story. But that's where it ends. The story is too simple and weird at times even to be more than OK. As a spy show it falls short on the basic principles of what makes a thrilling series, for instance developing the Iranian side of the story more than just the idea that you're either 'with us or against us' or simply delving more into characters instead of introducing too many of them. So there is certainly room for improvement if there is a season 2.… Expand
