A country under attack, a love returned from the past: how is the new original series on the AppleTV+ platform?
CARD INFORMATION
Apple TV+ tries to investigate and subvert another audiovisual genre that thus adds to the array of serial products that can be found in the library (By the way, don’t miss the March 2023 Apple TV+ series). This time the streaming window offers the opportunity to look at the world of espionage in a new key which puts the focus on a London that has to deal with internal or external attacks, also casting doubt on trust in the comforts of Europe.
AND Liaison the serial showing the terrorist attacks of expert hackers who derail trains and promise to destroy bridges; a show that comes after another product in the same line that didn’t shine for any particular merit. A tale that we have analyzed in the review of Suspicion e from which we hope the narrative of Liaison deviateswishing her to convince the story that saw an actress of the caliber of Uma Thurman in the cast more than she had been able to do.
Eva Green and Vincent Cassel work?
In the Apple TV+ series created by Virginie Brac the familiar faces are instead those of two equally splendid interpreters such as Eve Green And Vincent Cassel, whose paths intertwine again after years of distance and a love never forgotten due to an imminent danger that could bring down the security of the English capital. A couple of supporting actors who will have to face their task by holding different positions and authorities, trying to trust each other even if they find themselves in a delicate condition. A professional and emotional relationship that will have to remain silent while both try to re-establish in their own way the order that has been lost, while the viewer will have to try to understand how deep their relationship went, the one that seems to revive every time the two characters look into each other’s eyes. In Liaison this almost romantic element turns out to be the real novelty factor within the spy story, compared to a side dish made up of ambushes and chases, computers and digital disasters. At least that’s what transpires from the first episodes; an involvement that are the protagonists to push, rather than the whole story that is built around them. A story that occurs intricate from the beginning, unlike the ease with which the viewer can grasp the closeness and affection between Green and Cassel’s characters. Much more heartfelt than the rest of the events of the show, as well as what one is curious to know how she will fit into the diplomatic and secret operations of an entire country.
Between feelings and state secrets
When it comes to the side purely linked to the espionage dimension, Liaison manifests all mice of the genus. This is why only in front of the complete picture will it be possible to actually understand how much the Apple show has tried to present itself in an original way to differentiate itself from the pool of works from which it takes its cue and from which it would be good if he moved away to find his own identityespecially in writing.
The one that could derive precisely from the dualism of its protagonists and from that past that abruptly decided to knock on the door. So it’s on them that the audience will go to concentrate and from which it is hoped to draw a story as intriguing from the point of view of espionage and politics as human. An affair of love and state, from which it will be necessary to see who will come out really clean.
