Mama's Angel

I agree with the first reviewer I sat through all 10 episodes over 3 nights and at the end of the last episode I thought that the ending was all up in the air.I there going to be a second series . Some painfully annoying characters, especially the police chief. I thought there were some obvious questions that weren't answered.... why didn't the police chief's daughter give an alibi for the "prime suspect" ?

Maybe this is not a classic detective story, but this is a great drama. It is like life: not all story and character lines are bound to be just fuel for some "who done it" closure, they are valuable as they are. And this sudden final "disappointment" amplifies this feeling greatly.

A reasonably intense and authentic offering, that avoids the overly-dramatic thrills and spills that swamp our TV murder mysteries. Rather, it seeks to paint a picture of a people's culture, how they react to each other, and how the wider society treats them.

Expect less focus on police procedures and instead, witness a community's emotional response to the worst kind of tragedy. The outrage too, that is felt when the more marginalized members of Israeli society are faced with systemic injustices.

Thoughtfully conceived and generally well executed, although the story's ending perhaps drags on a little too long. (7.4/10)

Loved this drama, disappointed at ending initially but if there is to be a second series then really pleased. Enjoyed all 10 episodes and watched over a few days. Held my attention throughout. Actor playing Amnon was amazing and very believable. Interesting to see how investigations differ in this part of the world.

The first two reviews perfectly summed up the exasperation with this series I felt at the end. Plot took too long to develop, posed intriguing possibilities, then left them all hanging in the air. The only standout performance was the mentally handicapped man/child - none of the other actors rated. Leaving an audience feeling cheated is bad form to say the least.
