Apple TV+ series Liaison, starring Vincent Cassel and Eva Green, is a fine spy thriller, but it may not be one you remember years from now.
Liaison, the new English-French language espionage drama from Apple TV+, is everything you'd expect — there's plenty of intrigue, action, politics, anti-terrorism measures, and something of a romance subplot to boot. It's a perfectly fine and entertaining watch, but there's not really anything new or earth-shattering to mine.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY This storyline is where Liaison's suspense both prevails and falls a little flat. You want to find out what happened between them, why they look at each other the way they do, why everyone in Gabriel's life says, "even after what she did to you?" The show does a great job of slowly building this connection between them, and it propels the story forward.
That said, both Cassel and Green give superb performances. Cassel is aloof and cocky, Green is serious and very controlled. The chemistry between them is palpable, and it makes for a great side plot. Another complication on the romance side of things is that Green's Alison is very much involved with another man, Albert . In fact, they live together with his daughter from a previous relationship.
The show starts with two Syrian hackers, Samir and Walid , who are sought by multiple agencies for their knowledge of the planned attacks on the U.K. Cassel is assigned to withdraw them from Syria and take them to a safe location in France. The powerful organization has means even beyond the military and will stop at nothing to find Samir and Walid, as well as keep them from disclosing their plans.
