As a young girl, Nessa Stein witnessed the assassination of her father by the armed wing of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. Now in her late thirties, Nessa is at the forefront of the Middle East peace process. Ennobled for her campaigning work, the newly made Baroness must fight forces that are conspiring against her as she awards a highly lucrative contract to a Palestinian businessman. When he is subsequently killed, Nessa and her brother come under the close scrutiny of Whitehall and the Secret Intelligence Service. Set against the gripping backdrop of government paranoia and espionage, The Honourable Woman tells the story of one woman's personal journey to right the wrongs conducted in a past life.

After watching the pilot, I can't shake the impression that the creators love le Carré's novels and the recent TTSS film adaptation. Cold, methodical, looking into photogenic and strangely withdrawn compositions as well as mysterious, inaccessible and unsympathetic characters. A smart approach given the topic. I was very intrigued. Edit after seven episodes: this series is made average by incredibly didactic and clumsy directing. I understand the fact that Blick as an author tends to emphasize every detail, but the result is indigestible theatricality, which becomes unbearable episode after episode and culminates in an inadvertently comic attempt at drama at the end of the 7th episode. If I have tried to ignore partial scenes and details so far, this can no longer be overlooked. Critically the most overrated series of the season.
