Have you ever noticed that British shows look a little less glossy than American shows? Coming from Peaky Blinders’ creator Steven Knight, The Veil is like Homeland done in the British style. It’s a lot of the same shadowy spycraft, geopolitical dick-measuring, distrust, and so on…just grainer. At its center is Elisabeth Moss, who gives a respectable performance as an MI6 agent trying to determine whether a person of interest is an infamous ISIS commander. She, as well as Josh Charles and some typical espionage tropes, keep the show engaging enough, especially with only six episodes, even if the rushed writing leaves something to be desired.
