Few people in Italy know it, and it’s a shame why Tehranin addition to having won the International Emmy for Best Drama Series, she has also managed to write one spy story very far from the Hollywood canons and much closer to the reality of Asian countries. The series, the first non-English language in the Apple TV + catalog – even though the first season was aired on the Israeli public channel Kan 11 -, it all revolves around Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad hacking agent who, in the first season, embarked on a very dangerous one undercover mission in the capital of Iran. After having reconstructed some pieces of his life, the time has come for the spectators to add a new piece, to discover new subterfuges and to understand how Tamar will be able to take home the skin even in this round since, by now, the unexpected events for her are repeated with the same frequency with which Kristen Stewart changes her hairstyle.
After having infiltrated Tehran under a false identity with the aim of destroying the Iranian nuclear reactor – a mission, unfortunately, failed – Tamar only has to try again the mission aware that – incredible, but true – this time it will endanger not only her, but also all those who are dear to her. To enter this second season by force is, in fact, a piece of the nineties like Glenn Close which, having once again missed the Oscar for films like The Wife and American Elegy, chooses to return to television exactly ten years after the finale of Damages, the series that gave her two Emmys for the role of the wonderful and imperturbable Patty Hewes. At this turn, with her white hair pulled back and the turquoise veil over her head, Close lends his face to Marjan Montazeri, an English woman who lives in Tehran and who will immediately explain to Tamar that, from that moment on, their lives will be linked because her safety will be decided exclusively by how the agent decides to move, also facing this round with explosions, full blast shooting and car chases.
The mission is delicate and the outcome hangs by a thread that has been trapped in the hands of this girl who, having reached this point, it must invest all its strength to destroy the nuclear plant avoiding running into the same mistake as the previous attempt. We cannot tell you how the story will end, but it is enough for you to know that the twists and a high adrenaline rate will certainly not be lacking. What we can reveal to you, however, is that next to the big one Niv Sultan and, in fact, in Glenn Close, we will witness the entry of several new entries, such as Shaun Toub (Homeland), Shervin Alenabi (Gangs of London), Navid Negahban (Legion), Arash Marandi (All You Need) and Shila Ommi (Little America). The writing of Moshe Zonder, already behind the highly acclaimed Fauda of Netflix, is a guarantee, as well as the very delicate question of Israeli-Iranian conflict that Tehran tries to convey with truth and transparency, keeping as far as possible from the spectacularization of the war that many production companies stage without too many scruples. The kick-off of the new season is set for Friday 6 May with the first 6 episodes, which will be followed by the following on Fridays in the coming weeks.
