Elisabeth Moss Stuns in FX’s Fascinating Spy Thriller ‘The Veil’: TV Review


Elisabeth Moss and Yumna Marwan are gripping in FX's "The Veil" as two women stuck together by circumstance determined to find commonality.

The action series follows cunning MI6 agent Imogene Salter (a captivating Elisabeth Moss), whose ability to assume a new identity in the blink of an eye makes her a singular asset for the most challenging missions. When Imogene is tasked with extricating a woman named Adilah El Idrissi (an outstanding Yumna Marwan) from a Turkish/Syrian refugee camp and enticing her to disclose her secrets, the spy finds herself analyzing her own moral code and a past shrouded in riddles. Despite the comedic scenes involving gripes about France’s 35-hour workweek, the CIA’s often overblown reactions to any new revelations and a tech guy with putrid body odor, “The Veil” is no comedy.
