Powerful businesswoman Nessa Stein is thrown head-first into a game of political cat-and-mouse when a Palestinian businessman with close connections to her family's empire is killed.
The Honourable Woman är skriven och regisserad av Bafta-belönade Hugo Blick, och i huvudrollen ser vi Maggie Gyllenhaal. Det är en thrillerserie med snabba vändningar som utspelar sig internationellt. När hon var liten blev Nessa Stein vittne till sin fars mord av den beväpnade delen av PLO. Nu är hon i trettioårsåldern och befinner sig i framkanten av fredsprocessen i Mellanöstern. Hon har blivit adlad för sitt kampanjarbete, men den nyligen utnämnda baronessan måste kämpa mot de makter som konspirerar mot henne när hon ger ett mycket lukrativt kontrakt till en palestinsk affärsman. När han dödas blir Nessa och hennes bror strängt granskade av den brittiska regeringen och av Secret Intelligence Service. The Honourable Woman utspelar sig i en miljö av regeringsparanoia och spioneri, och berättar historien om en kvinnas personliga resa för att ställa tillrätta fel som gjordes i ett tidigare liv.
