Kfulim

I thought that this was one of the best shows I've watched in a long time. The characters are well drawn out and it seems that each episode bought a new twist. I never for sure knew who was who. I know this is a bit vague. My only quibble is that the subtitles are in a yellow font. Very difficult at times to read.

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.

From the makers of the brilliant Prisnors Of War (Homeland) we have an equally gripping drama series False Flag. There are similarities between the two shows only this time we have several individuals from different backgrounds accused of kidnapping a Russian minister in Moscow. Each one of them seems incapable and unlikely to be involved in such a crime but as each episode passes you begin to doubt there innocence, and believe that they may be involved in one way or another. Brilliant writing excellent acting it's hard to find any faults with this series. highly recommend 9/10
