Review of Baghdad Central

Set in Iraq during the war that started in 2003, this story unfolds from the perspectives of the people whose lives it upended. The first episode was unflinching, atmospheric and shocking in places, with a conflicted central character and surprising turns. A smart script and dual language approach, along with pin-sharp direction, left me with little opportunity to second guess what was coming next. edge of the seat stuff, genuinely gripping and intelligently put together.
