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.

It starts really well, interesting plot about some random people accused to have kidnapped an Iranian politician. Episode 2-3 are still good but then it starts to slow down and the pace of the movie is not good enough. There are a lot of staring and not answering just to make the show going. The end is quite disappointing.

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

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!
