The Honourable Woman Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

The Honourable Woman Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)


The Honourable Woman Premiered on BBC Two on July 03, 2014



The Honourable Woman 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.

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
