while i try to stay away from israel-related political shows to avoid any sort of bias, the psychological take that his identity is becoming blurred with the fake identity is very exciting. and I know Sacha Baron Cohen is a great actor, so it deserves a chance.

Really convincing performance by Baron Cohen. Let him do more serious roles, he's a great actor.

_The Spy_ is a great series that exceeded my expectations. Sacha Baron Cohen delivers a surprisingly good performance, bringing depth and authenticity to his role as Israeli spy Eli Cohen. The show is well-paced and engaging, with a strong supporting cast and excellent production values. The attention to detail in the period costumes and sets adds to the authenticity of the story. Overall, _The Spy_ is a must-watch for anyone interested in spy thrillers or true crime stories. It's a gripping and emotional series that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I have no inkling of the politics of the region. From what I could surmise, Syria and Isreal do not like each other one bit. With only this limited information, I still could enjoy the series. Sacha Baron Cohen was a big reason for this, and so was the muted and subtle cinematography by Itai Ne'eman More
