Kfulim

I just have to say season 2 is sooooo much better than season one with Nata Riskin in it, and the whole story line is so much better....don't wanna spoil it

My wife and I just saw the first two episodes at the SF Jewish Film Festival. Although I didn't see the Israeli "Prisoners of War" before it was adopted in the US as Homeland, I loved Homeland. But the first two episodes of Kfulim, or False Flag, were even better than Homeland, which was great. The subtitles (the show is in Hebrew) don't detract at all from the intense suspense.

This totally engrossing thriller - all without any violence so far - is compelling even in a theater, and I'll watch compulsively streaming or on TV. After two episodes, all we have is mysteries, so the eight-episode season holds great promise.

No wonder they say the Israeli originals are better!

Season 1 was engaging. There were too many characters. I agree with the commenter who said the quality dropped off over the course of the season.

Season 2 had better focus. There were many, many plot holes and the conclusion was disappointing.

The main investigator wasnt a sufficiently strong actor to carry the series.. Some of the supporting actors and actresses were very good.

Even with this criticisms, many viewers will find the show entertaining.

Especially where gun play is concerned.

Trained assassin with "feelings" who won't kill, shoot high, shoot low, miss.

Agents who can't hold onto their handgun and/or find them. Miss at close range.

Good main story line and most players, especially some of the support players. But bad writing & direction decisions.

Couple of not quite complete minor story lines.

Paints a pretty nasty picture of Mossad and GSS.

Crooked liars who'll do anything to get to the bottom of nothing.

Kind of like the Abu Ghraib story.

I made it thru the second season mostly because I wanted to see the deal sealed.

Feh! It was not. Fauda of the same kind of thing is way better.

For those who speak Hebrew it will be far more enjoyable but for the rest of us we have to struggle between fast talking dialogue and subtitles. Even though it is enjoyable with great acting
