The Veil - The Camp

There’s an interesting idea at the heart of The Veil that might make for a tense 100-minute thriller. I have some doubts on whether or not it can be stretched over six hours, however. The first episode is mainly setup as MI6 Agent Imogen Salter (Elisabeth Moss) extracts Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan) from a refugee camp before she can be killed by those in the camp who have discovered she worked with ISIS. The premise of the show involves Imogene working the asset on the road while attempting to extract a vital piece of data without giving too much away. The setup isn’t half bad, foreshadowing issues MI6 may have with a trigger-happy American (Josh Charles) who isn’t too happy with the current situation.

Tennant (Vanessa Lachey), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Dr. Chase (Seana Kofoed) work on keeping Hanna alive while Kai (Alex Tarrant), Lucy (Yasmine Al-Bustami), Ernie (Jason Antoon), and Whistler (Tori Anderson) work to track the missing terrorists (who return to Hawaii) and the Compound-X.

Fallout - The Past

Life in Vault 33 and vault history are a big part of the aptly titled “The Past.” Betty (Leslie Uggams) wins the overseer election leading Norm (Moises Arias) further down a rabbit hole after he discovers every overseer ever elected came from Vault 31 and whatever tragedy happened in Vault 32 seems to point to that direction as well. The division of the Vault 33 inhabitants leads some to relocated to the refurbished 32 (which has been sanitized completely from the shit show that Norm observed).

Alex Rider - Target

After having his world rocked by a revelation about how his father died, Alex (Otto Farrant) is faced with some hard choices about who to trust and what to believe. “Target” offers a couple of sequences highlighting this struggle. In the first Alex arranges a short rendezvous with Jack (Ronke Adekoluejo) offering an chance for a preemptive apology for the path the Widow (Sofia Helin) has put him on to become, what she claims, is the true Alex Rider.. The second, of course, is the end of the episode where Alex comes face to face with The Department agent who ordered the death of his father. Both literally and figuratively, the episode ends with a bang.
