The Spy

Just finished watching the show. Excellent cinematography, Love how one character defined the whole show Brilliant work by Sasha Baron Cohen.

Extremely well made, nuances of Israeli society in 1960s/Syrian cities in 60s well taken care of. Brilliant acting, Brilliant performance.

Great espionage 6-piece despite how frustrating both sides of the lake have been over the years. Cohen has finally landed a role that suits him to the dot, pity he wasn't cast for Freddy Mercury, I suppose his age was a serious factor. The series has very tense scenes at times, some tolerable melodrama here and there, overall a must watch if you are not easily insulted by the ongoing conflict from either side of the border.

Great story and it is absolutely true. Actors are superb. Sasha Baron Cohen unbelievably good and not in a comedy. Watched in one sitting.

I wasn't sure until the 2nd episode that this was going to be a fantastic drama/thriller. I was stressed the whole time because you fall in love with Eli, (played by Sacha Baron Cohen). It was heart wrenching and incredibly real, a true story done with respect to the true hero's of this operation. I am amazed at how versatile Cohen is on so many levels. He truly nailed this role and I could tell the story meant a lot to Hollings. I predict this was an award winning performance for Sacha. I binged the entire mini series in one night. Edge is your seat suspense all the way through. Cinematography was beautiful. Music exceptional. You can't go wrong with this one and it is definitely a story that deserves to be heard.
