A young Israeli agent of the Mossad (excellently played by Niv Sultan), is ordered to sabotage Iran's air defenses through a hack. It is the beginning of a cat and mouse game with the Iranian secret service, personified by the hard and driven Faraz Kamali (Shaun Toub). Tehran is a beautifully stylized spy drama that, however, lacks tension. Loyalty conflicts, a bit of romance, such a spy office garden with lots of screens, a few hacks that just (don't) work; we can tick it off neatly. The series was shot in Athens, with the necessary CGI to make it look like Tehran. I believe it.
The screenplay by Moshe Zonder (Fauda) sometimes drops a bit (episodes 4 and 5), but on the other hand it does have a few nice surprises and cliffhangers. Tehran lacks the action, suspense, weight and authority of series like Fauda, Homeland or The Spy, but it manages to survive because it's carefully crafted.
