Hooked it.  Didn't seem bad, exactly, but on the small screen the visual impact is lost.  Also, the special effects don't seem so special now.  Seemed oddly slow.  May give it another try later.

Well done Israeli thriller. Good acting, not too  one-sided in depiction of Israeli=Palestinian conflict.  Tight story line . . . 35 minute episodes Panther is killed by his protegé.  Doran loses his Palestinian doctor lover when she learns he's Israeli.  Doran also seems to have lost his wife to another team member--hard to feel sorry for Doran on this score as he doesn't love his wife and the new guy does.  On to Season Two

Turning out to be pretty good.  Hamas captures Doron's brother-in-law (Boaz).  Pretty doctor who Doron is keen on is forced to insert a bomb in Boaz.  Exchange is arranged.  Hamas blows up Boaz. Doron, in reprisal, blows up the Sheik who was to be exchanged.  "The Panther" daughter is injured. Israelis take her to Hadassah hospital.  Her mother--furious with her husband for his activities--visits her there.  should she transfer her to Palestinian hospital? Dilemma. Eye injury. Doron and his team, failures, are out . . . but they  must get back in, or the show is over.

Israeli.  An elite group of Israeli police plan to infiltrate a Palestinian wedding and kill terrorist responsible for 150 deaths. All goes completely to hell. They are uncovered, end up shooting the groom and putting a gun to the head of the bride, chase after but don't get their real target. Looks promising.

Just tries so hard to be edgy that it becomes a bore.  Eve and her double meet up a couple of times.  The double could kill Eve but doesn't . . . she kills everyone else.  Eve could shoot the double but doesn't, but then stabs her.  Season One ends with Velonalla (?) something like that, fleeing and bleeding. Done with it.
