Jornada de Heróis

Guess people can read subtitles and know how to turn them on. Makes no sense to have other actors play half of the work of the original actors again.

Series is not bad. It is kind of slow, takes it's time to develop the characters.

I haven't finished watching, but I'm emnjoying this and unlike some of the other commenters the flashbacks don't confuse me at all. First of all, they're clearly marked, secondly, they all have very different haircuts during the different phases of their life.

As for subbing the show? I'm watching in the Netherlands with subtitles. Everything is in local languages, so I hear the Hebrew, Spanish and English as spoken by the actors.

The first half of the series was quite good but I felt the last 4 episodes became very predictable and tedious. If I hadn't invested so much time in getting to the half way point I'd have given up. As long as you go into this with fairly low expectations you'll be ok !!

This Israeli series opens with a group of soldiers in Lebanon; they are on their way home but events lead to the death of their leader. Eleven years later the four survivors; Aviv Danino, Dov 'Dubi' Ashkenazi, Yakir 'Benda' Ben-David and Dotan 'Himmler' Friedman have each gone their own way. Benda, who is now running a restaurant in Bogota sees a familiar face in a photograph in the local paper; Yael 'Yaeli' Ashkenazi. Yaeli is Dubi's sister and Aviv's girlfriend was last seen nine years previously and was presumed dead following a traffic accident in the Colombian jungle. Aviv, Dubi and Himmler fly to Bogota and meet up with Benda. Here they set about trying to find more about the picture; information that will ultimately lead them into the jungle where they will face some dangerous characters.

I really enjoyed this series. It got off to a fine start with the scenes in Lebanon; these were tense and served to introduce the four main characters and explain why they are as they are. Once the main story gets underway there is plenty of tension as the quartet face dangers in Colombia. There is a decent amount of action. The use of flashbacks to show us key moments of characters' lives is effective and doesn't distract from the main story. The cast does a solid job throughout. There are some flaws; for example the characters make a lot of unnecessary noise in the jungle even after they know there are armed individuals nearby who are looking for them; hard to believe of anybody... impossible for characters with military training (apart from the one accidentally drugged). The locations; particularly those in Colombia look fantastic. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody wanting a good drama with solid action.

These comments are based on watching the series in Hebrew/Spanish with English subtitles.

It is a good show, not perfect, but good by many standards. It has mystery, thriller and good acting. The pace is also great, not too slow and not too fast. Considering how much bad shows are out there, this is one is literally perfection. Highly recommended.
