A thriller under high tension
Adapted from Elliot Colla's bestseller by Stephen Butchart , here is the British miniseries that is making noise, after making a big splash at Series Mania in 2019.
And for good reason, its English screenwriter is not his first attempt at Iraq since he had already written the extraordinary House of Saddam , an intimate portrait of the Emmy Award- winning dictator.
Here he deploys a thriller under high tension with Waleed Zuaiter ( Homeland , Omar ) and Corey Stoll ( House of Cards ) against a backdrop of corruption and struggles for influence. Totally addicting for lovers of espionage and lobbying against a backdrop of war in the Middle East .
