My newest streaming obsession is Hulu’s ‘No Man’s Land,’ set amid the war in Syria

[Andy Meek]

• Anyone looking for some quality streaming fare may want to consider adding Hulu's No Man's Land to their list of what to watch next.
• The series follows a Frenchman who ventures to Syria amid the civil war there to find the sister he thought was dead.
• All eight episodes of No Man's Land are now streaming on Hulu.

As far as I'm concerned, you all can keep your frothy Emily in Paris and the buzzy shows dominating all the best-of lists right now like The Queen's Gambit, not to mention all the reality crap, and whatever else streaming audiences are filling up their time with these days. I'm a simple man. I want complex, tense, action-filled, spy/espionage/thriller dramas. If it's set in Europe or the Middle East, great. If it's got a flawed, imperfect protagonist, if it embraces all the muddy grey of nation-states and the invisible army of spooks and other silent warriors who protect them -- even better. You will have my undivided attention.

After recently checking out the Israeli spy thriller series Tehran on Apple TV+ as well as the fantastic Russo brothers-produced Netflix original film Mosul, both of which checked all my boxes, I was in the mood for something similar. Mosul follows a rogue SWAT team inside the Iraqi city of Mosul (which was known as Nineveh in the ancient world) as the team fights to save the city from ISIS. It has an all-Arabic cast, plus intense, immersive combat scenes, and it hooked me with a wild gun battle right from the start. And after that, when I was ready to search for what to watch next, it was Hulu that had my back: Luckily, I came across the Hulu original series No Man's Land.
