[b][align=center]The Honourable Woman Premiered on BBC Two on July 03, 2014[/align][/b]

[b]The Honourable Woman[/b] is described as a fast-paced, labyrinthine thriller set against an international political backdrop that carries Blick’s distinctive rhythmic style and vision. It centers on Nessa Stein’s (Gyllenhaal) whose father was a Zionist arms procurer, and as children, she and her brother witness his assassination. As an adult, inheriting her father’s company, she dramatically inverts its purpose from supplying arms to laying high-spec data cabling networks between Israel and the West Bank. Her sudden appointment to the House of Lords, apparently due to her tireless promotion of projects for reconciliation between the Israelis and Palestinians, creates an international political maelstrom.

1x01 The Empty Chair

Nessa or her brother not screaming out when the waiter killed their father was surprising and as an adult running her fathers company which she inherited was impressive but not being able to stop the boys kidnapping after that chase across the park was sad

1x02 The Unfaithful Husband

The nurse giving the shot kidnapper the phone message before the police talked to him was unfortunate but they should of had a guard in the room and Rebecca being caught out as the lying mistress was interesting as she was an FBI agent but letting her go known her life was in danger was a risk that didn't pay off

Nessa seem to more tougher and smarter than her brother but that chase was impressive considering she didn't think for a minute but you can see that she big challenge ahead in her new role :o  .

Her English accent is quite good for American actress :) .

1x03 The Killing Call

Nessa's bodyguard Nathaniel figuring out the dead kidnapper received a phone call before he died was impressive but walking into a trap was a surprise and a deadly mistake but Gail using her mother was impressive

1x04 The Ribbon Cutter

The flashback of Nessa opening a can of worms after $1,5000,000 she thought had gone to the school had ended up in Gaza was interesting but you knew trying to track down the missing money was dangerous as it lead to her being kidnapped but being raped to save her translator was sad

1x05 Two Hearts

Atika offering to take Nessa's unborn child made sense and explained the disappearance for a year and also explained why they kidnapped Kasim

1x06 The Mother Line

Nessa needs to lay off the drink after getting attacked and it was only a matter of time before Nessa found out that it was Ephra who ordered the wire-tap but turning the wire-tap off to see who came and fixed it was too easy, what a moron giving the boy a gun

1x07 The Hollow Wall

I thought Hugh knew Kasim was Nessa's son with all his insinuations but glad he help for find the scum-bag who attacked her but that explosion on the construction site and Ephra murder was a surprise

1x08 The Paring Knife

Nessa was really lucky to survive that bomb blast but as the Palestinians still want her dead she's not safe but not using the knife on the guy responsible for all the tragedies in her life must of been hard and Atika dying to protect her and her son made up for all her wrong doings

Watching this was pure torture. Boring beyond compare....thank God for fast forward. But, I'm happy that the kid survived and she finally acknowledged him
