The Honourable Woman

[Remote]

Just wrapped up the 8-part miniseries "The Honourable Woman" (It's a BBC series hence the U in the spelling of honorable)

As much as I am not a fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal, this show was amazingly well done.
Lubna Azabal, who played Atika, was fantastic.

It's about a brother and sister basically trying to fix the sins of their father and his role in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It really starts to pick up around episode 3 but if you have the time, I highly recommend it.

I'm pretty sure it's just a 1-shot deal, even though Netflix lists the show as Season 1.

It's kind of what you wish Showtime's Homeland could be.

I tried to pimp it on the Netflix thread but only a couple of people watched it

I loved it. It was Homeland at it's best and even better at times. I also don't like Maggie Gyllenhaal, and thought she cried way too much in the series (it was like Carrie's "crazy/crying face" in Homeland) but it didn't really matter. The story was piff, it was an outstanding thriller.

6 episodes in….love it, best series I have seen since 'True Detective', emotional, complex, layered, nothing is black and white….very impressive acting and writing from everyone involved.

It's on my Netflix queue. Guess I better knock it out before Netflix gets rid of all the British shows.
