Peaky Blinders boss’s “tense” thriller ‘to get lost in’ becomes one of UK streamer’s ‘most popular’

Currently, Steven Knight’s espionage thriller featuring Elisabeth Moss is gaining popularity in the United Kingdom – a year following its initial debut.

First broadcast in April 2024, the series “The Veil” features the star of “The Handmaid’s Tale” playing the lead character, Imogen Salter – a seasoned MI6 operative with expertise in covert operations.

In their encounter, Imogen finds herself facing off against Yumna Marwan, a French citizen who is under suspicion for having ties to ISIS and allegedly plotting to orchestrate attacks in the Western world.

The series has been recently made available on Channel 4’s streaming service, swiftly climbing its list of most-watched content.

In the United States, the series titled “The Veil” that was broadcasted on FX and later available on Hulu, can now be streamed on Disney+ for those who subscribe to their service, here across the ocean.

Developed under the supervision of Peaky Blinders‘ creator, Knight, who collaborates on both writing and production with Moss, this limited espionage series has garnered a mix of positive and negative critiques from reviewers.

As I write this, the show titled “The Veil” holds a rating of 54% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 35 reviews, with certain critics applauding its suspenseful atmosphere. However, others feel that it fails to live up to the grand finale it teases – yet it remains an engaging watch due to its six episodes, each ranging from 36 to 65 minutes in length.

In summary, “The Veil” appears to be an engaging series that invites viewers to delve into its weekly mysteries and enjoy the ride. This was the impression shared by Common Sense Media in their review.

The series is “thrilling and thought-provoking,” but it sometimes strays from its main focus due to excessive, non-essential storylines.

According to CNN’s critique, the series initially presents its enigma subtly, but as the narrative unfolds and pulls at this mystery for a prolonged period, the thinness of its veiled concept becomes more apparent.

In addition to Moss and Marwan, the cast of The Veil includes Dali Benssalah portraying French agent and Imogen’s boyfriend Malik Amar, Josh Charles taking on the role of CIA agent Max Peterson, and James Purefoy playing Imogen’s mentor, Sir Michael Althorp.

In the United Kingdom, you can catch “The Veil” on Channel 4 and Disney+. If you’re in the US, you can find the series on Hulu instead.

As an enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement! The latest Digital Spy print issue has arrived, and it’s all about the iconic band Oasis in their upcoming 2025 live performance.
