Just as Lily Allen releases an iconic, well loved, reviewed album, her brother Alfie Allen is slaying in Atomic.
This is serious Adventure TV. This British series inspired by the non-fiction book Atomic Bazaar by William Langewiesche.
I'm late to the Binge as this landed on Binge, late August via the UK's Sky Atlantic.
The five-part series is led by Allen, Shazad Latif, & The Handmaid's Tale's Samira Wiley.
Filming took place Morocco in the summer of 2024.
So I have barely been hitting my Binge app on my phone or TV. Sadly since the loss of HBO content, the streamer is kinda lame. However this was kinda incredible.
It was addictive, edge of the seat kind of TV. Just what I like. So what's it all about?
When the path of free-spirited drug smuggler Max (Allen) collides with JJ (Latif), an enigmatic outsider on the run, an unlikely friendship is formed. They’re swept into a chaotic, high-stakes mission they never signed up for— trafficking highly enriched uranium across North Africa and the Middle East, with the CIA, MI6, and a global web of opposing forces closing in fast
Leading the charge for the CIA is highly skilled scientist and a Non-Official Cover (NOC) officer Cassie Elliott (Wiley).
Convinced Max and JJ are in league with violent extremists, her relentless pursuit puts them all on a collision course revealing that nothing is what it seems, and everyone has an ulterior motive. The pair find themselves on a wild road trip , confronting covert operatives, an internationally funded cartel, and ultimately their own pasts.
What starts as a bid for survival slowly becomes something more: a reluctant partnership, a shot at redemption, and one hell of a ride.
