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.
