Elisabeth Moss is not Claire Danes.
If you've seen Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison in the series "Homeland", you'll have moments of recognition in the spy series "The Veil". The only difference: Elisabeth Moss is not Claire Danes!
Imogen Salter (Elisabeth Moss), an experienced agent of the British secret service, is tasked with capturing a suspect (Yumna Marwan) and uncovering her possible identity as a terrorist leader of IS. An imminent major attack on the West is also looming over the plot.
The six-part spy series "The Veil" ("The Veil") - streaming on Disney+ - offers nothing new in terms of content, apart from minor aspects. The knowledgeable viewer may wonder why such formats are still being made in the shadow of a series like "Homeland".
A detailed review of "The Veil" by Ronny Rüsch and Axel Max - now in a new episode of the ntv podcast "Oscars & Himbeeren". Also included: the miniseries "Lady in the Lake", the spy comedy "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare", and the true-crime series "Under the Bridge".
The entertainment value of "The Veil" can be enjoyed similarly to that of "Homeland," as both feature espionage themes. Despite not featuring Claire Danes, Elisabeth Moss delivers an engaging performance in "The Veil."
