Series Premiere

From FX, a murky international espionage thriller stars The Handmaid’s Tale’s Elisabeth Moss as an enigmatic British agent who not only calls her own shots—to the frustration of operatives on both sides of the ocean—but decides how by what name she’ll be called. “I would like my name to be Imogen,” she smugly tells her bosses as she heads off on a risky new mission that begins at a snowy refugee camp on the Syrian-Turkish border. Imogen Whoever retrieves another woman of mystery, calling herself Adilah (Yumna Marwan), who may or may not be “the most wanted woman in the world,” a notorious female commander of ISIS. It’s Imogen’s job to pierce the veil of her companion’s identity in a journey that leads from Istanbul to Paris to London. Launches with two episodes.
