The Spy

The series is about an israel spy Eli Cohen who is on a mission in Syria. The story telling is done in a neat manner which involves covering all aspects of a spy's life. Not like most of the spy flicks, this one is also a beautiful love story. Baron Sacha Cohen has been spot on in his another role of playing an Arab, this time an intense one . Another mention would be of Hadar Ratzon. Oh! How beautiful was she in playing spy's wife. The contradiction between the life of Cohen & Thaabeth experienced in the shopping mall scene touches you to the core. Life, then and now for a spy may be different in the challenges they face, but the biggest cost is paid by the family. The Spy carries every emotion together of fear,anger,love and creates a spectacular piece for all.

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.

Take the emotion of the situation between Syria and Israel out of your reviews.

This series represented an incredible story that was well directed and the acting was very well done.

Sacha Baron Cohen was incredible and everyone else in this show played their parts well.

I would very much recommend this series.

They introduced enough at the start for everyone to feel like they knew the story and to keep suspense throughout the series. It is not gory and so the focus is on the story and the characters (real life people).

Clever use of visuals to highlight the time scale and as a viewer you felt like you really got to know the characters (people), which is difficult considering this was based on real events!

Still can't believe this actually happened.

Please watch it.

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