: This is a strong start to the season that proves Tehran isn't just a one-hit-wonder. It’s a sophisticated geopolitical thriller that balances personal stakes with international consequences.
: Tamar is no longer the wide-eyed hacker we met in Season 1. She is more battle-hardened, and the premiere does a great job showing the psychological toll that living a double life in enemy territory has taken on her.
: Stellar performance by Glenn Close, intense action sequences, and a script that avoids "sophomore slump" tropes by expanding the scope of the mission.
: Some plot points rely on classic "spy luck" where characters escape narrowly in ways that feel a bit convenient.
