    Great sacha Baron Cohen play!

    That is fabuluous initiation into a dramatic role of Sacha B.Cohen. Very organic immersion into character.

    Worse to see!

    Amazing story, amazing acting, well directed

    Take the emotion of the situation between Syria and Israel out of your reviews.

    This series represented an incredible story that was well directed and the acting was very well done.

    Sacha Baron Cohen was incredible and everyone else in this show played their parts well.

    I would very much recommend this series.

    They introduced enough at the start for everyone to feel like they knew the story and to keep suspense throughout the series. It is not gory and so the focus is on the story and the characters (real life people).

    Clever use of visuals to highlight the time scale and as a viewer you felt like you really got to know the characters (people), which is difficult considering this was based on real events!

    Still can't believe this actually happened.

    Please watch it.

    Sacha Baron Cohen's Most Brilliant Performance

    I wasn't sure until the 2nd episode that this was going to be a fantastic drama/thriller. I was stressed the whole time because you fall in love with Eli, (played by Sacha Baron Cohen). It was heart wrenching and incredibly real, a true story done with respect to the true hero's of this operation. I am amazed at how versatile Cohen is on so many levels. He truly nailed this role and I could tell the story meant a lot to Hollings. I predict this was an award winning performance for Sacha. I binged the entire mini series in one night. Edge is your seat suspense all the way through. Cinematography was beautiful. Music exceptional. You can't go wrong with this one and it is definitely a story that deserves to be heard.

    Fantastic Series

    Great story and it is absolutely true. Actors are superb. Sasha Baron Cohen unbelievably good and not in a comedy. Watched in one sitting.

    • Trivia
      Throughout the series, Israel is depicted as washed-out and grey whereas the locations where Cohen works as Kamel Thaabeth are brightly colored. Red and yellow items are occasionally highlighted within the portrayed greyness of Israel, as they are the colors of danger and caution, respectively.
    • Goofs
      In the title sequence there are photos from the 1960s (when the series takes place) except the photo of Nelson Mandela that was taken after his release from prison (it was taken in 1994).
