Aramide Tinubu In FX’s gripping new miniseries “The Veil,” right versus wrong isn’t a straightforward calculation, and truth is more confounding than it seems. 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.
Exciting and astonishing, “The Veil” beautifully balances stunt-filled escapades and a rich narrative. Though the series will take its audience on a journey to Turkey, through Paris, and into London, the story begins amid chaos. In the snow-covered refugee camp during a disorganized food drop, Adilah is accused of being a terrorist and becomes the target of horrific violence.
Isolated for her own protection, she is fixated on finding a way out. As it happens, mayhem and disorder are Imogene’s specialties. Whisking in to get Adilah to safety, she must convince her dangerous new companion to divulge information that will save thousands of lives.
Her direct orders from France’s Directorate-General for External Security and the CIA — the liaisons on her assignment — are to turn Adilah in. However, in attempting to ascertain Adilah’s circumstances and motivations, Imogene unearths some shocking facts, leading her to go rogue. Armed with a mostly believable English accent, Moss is exceptional.
