A Body That Works

This is an excellent series on a very sensitive and touchy subject. I believe the writers do an excellent job in that the show has the appropriate pace. It doesn't go too fast to where you miss key details and if surely isn't too slow where you would fall asleep. The cast is amazing, they do a great job of bringing depth to each character. I would advise anyone who is looking for a good series to binge or watch to consider this series. I put on English subtitles because my Hebrew language is limited, but even that isn't a detriment to watching this series. This is the perfect release for the 4th of July weekend because after you watch fireworks in person, you can now watch them on this show.

... A Body That Works was Israel's highest-rated-drama last year... deserving all praise it gets, all facets are working-top-notch... casting, writing, acting, production ... Rotem Sela and Gal Malka awarded-sharing the Best Actress prize for an international series at Series-Mania-awards in France... tackling surrogacy, a genre not easy pulling off this well for an entire eight episode series.. A Body That Works makes you want to stream every-episode non-stop

... already green-lighted for a second season, it will be exceptionally interesting seeing what comes next for all these characters... most viewers-fans would more than likely want to have the 'family' come-back-together... that may very well happen, yet if it does, it's probably not going to come easily-quickly, if at all ... many very good shows come from Israeli production companies... it's unfortunate the state of our world hampering true recognition that they well deserve... let's all-hope-pray that's to soon change

... an article in Variety from February talks about all four of the lead characters Iddo, Tomer, Chen & Ellie returning in a six-episode second-season... and that they remain-separated, co-parenting, while discussing possibilities having-another-child... Tomer's labeling as a "love interest" adding curiosity ... so seems-like we once again pick up near exactly where all left off... should be another highly anticipated series, can't wait

... if would have any real criticisms of any characters-developed, it's how readily-freely the-wayward-wife transforms him to a subservient-cuckold over-for several-months, until the surrogate implores-her-return to-help-her.. only then does she show any real feelings-remorse towards him at all... likely why, the pair-still-remain separate-distanced ("what-home Ellie.. there is no-home") into this new upcoming series of shows

... 10.04.24 - watching the series a second time... what's missing most from this production's storyline is logical-necessary-dialogue between the two main protagonists... there's a good deal of reasoning-conversation between Chen and Iddo, and then also between Tomer and Ellie, but much-is-glaringly-missing between Ellie and Iddo... there could have should have been much more, it would have been a bit of a challenge, so as not to affect the overall plot line of their strained marriage, with eventual outcome of her total-abandonment of him and their yet to be born child... but without it, the entire unchallenged rationale of her blatant 'in-your-face' infidelity gets called into question.. and why-how-can-he act so subserviently while this 'other-man' is most-obviously-directly-stealing his 'true-love' right out from underneath him (literally)
