Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 10/21/2020
This handsome Israeli spy drama is tense and involving from the get-go, and while it doesn't always feel as fiendishly plotted as you might expect it to be, it provides uncommon insight into the complex human fabric of a region. Go to Full Review Michael Starr New York Post 09/30/2020
"Tehran" is, admittedly, a little difficult to follow at first, and really hits its relentless stride midway through the opener once the plot points are clarified. From there, it's a pulse-pounding journey. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 09/28/2020
To call the series twisty is an understatement. It's superbly crafted to nail one dangerous turn after another and keep you guessing. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 01/11/2022
The true action is configured in the persistent displacement between borders but also between personal loyalties and family roots. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 03/25/2021
4/5
Tehran moves away from traditional stereotypes about Iran, and highlights the range of different, and often complicated, feelings the Iranian people have about their government. Go to Full Review Mark Meszoros The News-Herald (Willoughby, OH) 02/21/2021
Eventually, the reality hits you: There are neither heroes nor villains in Tehran. As in real life, 'good guys' and 'bad guys' are hard to find. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

John K @Kingy 2d I have not watched it yet, however if it's pro Israel I will love it. See more Eric O. @Eric63 4d I’m astonished that this series receives such stellar reviews. The flimsy plot relies on poor judgments that would never be made by an experienced agent. Moreover, there are way too many coincidences that enable the protagonist to continue making outlandish mistakes. Simply put, the character is not well drawn and the plot is not credible whatsoever. Regardless of one’s politics, I can’t believe such a shoddy script ever got produced. See more Chris H. @Szechuannoodles Feb 16 Completely biased looks like it’s written by mossad, so bad it’s comical. All the Iranian people are seen as stupid or evil. Each episode got worse and worse. See more Ahmed J @AHMEDJOSEPH Feb 15 A practical example of how minds are washed and reality is distorted: you can kill children, but if you have money and influence, don't worry—we'll fabricate a story that makes you the victim. See more Young S. @YoungStevie Feb 14 Excellent thriller, one of the few good series on Apple. It actually offers a sympathetic and nuanced portrait of Israeli and Iranian people. That won’t be good enough for the encampment folks but they wouldn’t have patience for this series anyway. It’s obviously written by people from perspective, but that’s almost every TV show at this point.. I had to reword this review five different times just to get it through. It’s getting really absurd. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Feb 6 8 successful Apple TV+ episodes. Ages 14 and older. See more Read all reviews
