Every time that “The Veil” threatens to spiral off into espionage clichés—not an infrequent occurrence—a choice made by Moss, Marwan, Charles, or a supporting player brings it back. There’s just something about spending time on a show like this with smart characters bouncing rich dialogue off each other in interesting ways.

Unfortunately, for all of its potent ideas, its carefully chosen and depicted European locations and Moss’ excellence — which should never be taken so entirely for granted that you don’t pause and marvel — Knight doesn’t know how to steer his story to a place that’s as provocative as its origins. The Veil first becomes perfunctory — Homeland-lite — before fizzling entirely in its concluding episodes, in which almost none of its twisty reveals hits deeply on either a plot or character level.

Perhaps most disappointing is how “The Veil” becomes more and more about Imogen and less about Adilah as the episodes drone on. The finale includes a series of whiplash-inducing plot twists, some violent developments that feel arbitrary and manipulative, and one key reveal involving a piece of office equipment that is unintentionally funny.

There’s nothing here that deserves expansion in a series that is already at breaking point. We’re led through the at times punishingly dull, four-and-a half-hour runtime with the promise of surprise but it never really comes. The only real shock is why, at a time of far too much TV, anyone would waste their time watching this.
