New tv + series: apple sends spies in iran
A young woman with black headscarf and nose bandage is in the control center of an iranian electricity work. In a hurry, it connects to your laptop with the control system. Tamar rabinian (played by NIV sultan) is israeli mossad agent and hacker. Again and again she looks nervous about her shoulder. Your destination: the iranian air defense is paralyzing that israeli fighting jets can bomb the nuclear land of the enemy country. Action and current policy are in the israeli streaming series "tehran" – from the end of september at apple TV + also to see in germany (subscription: 5 euros a month) – closely linked.
Rabinian gets help from the iranian hacker "sick boy", who fights against the system in their own country, but not knows their true identity. But her mission is in danger when her is a commander of the iranian revolutionary food. He is tarred by the iranian-american actor shaun toub, already in the US series "homeland" an iranian boseweight played.
On the adventurous escape, the young woman, born in tehran, raised but grew up in israel, also to her cultural and family roots. There are also romantic involvements with the friendly hacker she met in the darknet.
Already to see in israel
Israel "tehran" already. The realitat has caught the viewers last: a series of mysterious explosions has been pushed to iran. This acts in a absurd way almost as advertising for the current value of "tehran" – although there are no direct dismissal against israel from the pages of iranian guided.
First, the israeli channel KAN showed the series, with apple TV + she runs from 25. September. To the shocks of "tehran" guard mosque zonder, screenwriter of the successful israeli series "FAUDA". Production partners is the canadian company cineflix studios. The newspaper "hair" wrote: "tehran is even better than "FAUDA"." the style is similar and also reminds of the US series "homeland".
In "tehran" go to "the secret struggle of the mossad and the air force against a nuclear call of iran", declared zonder the magazine "time out". He tried, "to show the israeli-iranian conflict in a new light". Topics are there "the universal confrontation with emigration, identity and patriotism, and the question of whether one can loose from these limits".
Expert: pretty "homeland"
Iran is considered an enemy land and is mostly considered with coarse mistrust, but also gross curiosity. Also the iranian protagonists of the series filmed in athens become as "round" characters with human pages presented. The dialogues are on hebraisch, persian and english.
How realistic is the representation of agent work? Sima shine, former mossad employee, laughs. "All my friends ask me that." the series is "very well done", says the head of the iran department of the institute for national security studies (INSS) in tel aviv. "There is a lot of tension built up, there are fast sequences."
It is too much in american style for your taste. The procedure of the agent is partly not very authentic. "A agent in tehran decides to take on his own because someone has a friend in the electricity work", she says. "That’s a bit too much hollywood." nevertheless, the series is "not bad", she says and laughs.
