    טהרן

    The wife and I love to watch TV. Out of all the available streaming services we own, I really enjoy the original content on Apple TV+. There’s so many good shows, from Ted Lasso to Slow Horses, The Morning Show to the many nature documentaries, or even my daughter’s favourite, Helpsters.

    Now, we can add another show to the line-up of good stuff on Apple TV+ — and that’s Tehran (טהרן).

    It’s been really fun to watch the Isreali-produced, Iran-based, hacker-girl drama-thriller and we raced through both season 1 & 2 faster than you can spell ‘espionage’.

    A screencap from the TV series Tehran with the lead character sat in the back seat of a car.

    Tamar Rabinian is a Mossad hacker-agent who infiltrates Tehran under a false identity to help destroy Iran’s nuclear reactor. But when her mission fails and she’s trapped in a new life, Tamar must plan an operation that will place everyone dear to her in jeopardy.

    What’s also quite fun is that, like almost all Apple TV Originals, there is an accompanying soundtrack on Apple Music too.

    Anyway, that’s it. That’s the post; if you have Apple TV+, go and watch Tehran.

    Britain’s Most Historic Towns: Manchester

    I recently discovered the TV show Britain’s Most Historic Towns (The TVDB) and the latest episode in the series focused on my home city; Manchester.

    It’s a really fun, educational series to watch and I recommend that you spend at least 45 mins with this latest episode.

    As part of the episode, they even take a look at Chetham’s Library, which is where my wife and I got married.

    If you live inside the UK, you can watch the episode on Channel 4’s website, but if you are outside the UK, it’s on Google Drive.
