The Veil

Led by Elizabeth Moss, this Homeland-esque production unfolds over the course of a road trip between two women adept at lying. Moss leads as an agent of Interpol on a roadtrip taking a suspected former Al-Qaeda across eastern Europe. Themes of humanity, sisterhood and ethics are constantly discussed between our two leads, but the series loses interst over its pacing and lack of plot or character development. Multiple conversations delve into our leads' lives, but with too much of a lying game at play between the characters, most of their conversations fall into foggy or confusing territories. Moss holds alright in a role a little more action-heavy than is believable for her as an actress, and the cinematography is beautiful. This is an ok show to fold laundry to.
