As Khafaji, Waleed Zuaiter brings a wholly convincing air of crushed world-weariness, as he keeps on keeping on because there is no alternative.February 04, 2020
I can see this noir is well done, but I'm not sure I have the stomach for a whole series.February 04, 2020
It has the confidence to make Muhsin the lead, with Zuaiter more than holding his own against the excellent Bertie Carvel, who plays a British bureaucrat sharing Saddam's repurposed Republican Palace with Americans he loathes.February 04, 2020
Powercuts, checkpoints and harassment form the daily routine for these Iraqis, who hoped so much and got so little from regime change. A soundscape of Arabic music adds a thrilling pulse of menace as the action moves inexorably towards violence.February 10, 2020
If I was struck by anything, it was the humanity and warmth of Zuaiter's performance, so if I go back, it will be for that. I've decided. I will go back.February 04, 2020
Baghdad Central is what Channel 4 calls a "dual-language drama", aiming to strike a perfect balance between subtitles-for-authenticity and English-for-easy-viewing. It mostly succeeds.
