What I liked

The weaving in of Indian mythology was a nice poetic touch. The references to colonialism and Noor’s struggle to reconcile her feelings about working for her colonial oppressor were interesting.

What I didn't like

The dialect needs work. If working with a coach is not an option, the show could work just as well without the dialect.

If you want to keep the framing device of the interrogation room, it might be wise to turn this into a two-hander. The pantomiming of the actions of the interrogating officer didn’t quite work dramatically.

My overall impression

Very engaging. A fascinating character study, and a story that I’m glad is being told.
