FX's limited series feels as unnecessary as Elisabeth Moss' British accent
The question that springs to mind at the end of The Veil is: What are we even doing here? What is the purpose of this FX six-episode limited series? Premiering on April 30, The Veil is boring and aimless unless the goal is to remind audiences of the all-consuming power of an Elisabeth Moss close-up shot. She commands the camera here, too, but it doesn’t justify a confounding TV show with nothing substantial to say about the Serious Issues™ it’s trying to wrap itself around.
Meanwhile, Adilah has to similarly manipulate Imogen so she can get back to her daughter in France. Their push-and-pull is initially interesting because Marwan goes toe-to-toe with Moss. And it makes the eventual focus on Imogen all the more frustrating. Both women are continually called loyal, devious, and smart shape-shifters, but only one of them gets a chance to portray those qualities.
