I had heard about this show a while ago and I glad to now get to watching it. When I was quite young we visited Tehran, but the depiction here is of a far larger and sophisticated city. We also drove over the mountains to the Caspian Sea, and I think if that every time a panoramic shot of the urban skyline is backdropped by the Alborz.
The plot and action in the series is snappy and fairly unpredictable. There’s a nice tension of intrigue without too much violence. The two younger lead actors, Tamar and Milad, are excellent. They remind me of the Iranians students who were at boarding school with me in the late 70s.
There’s a lot to like about this series.
