I watch every Israeli political drama I can find. Big fan. Nevertheless, this one jumps the shark a few times each episode. The acting is fine, it's just that the situations and each step toward their resolution are just preposterous to anyone with any police training, medical training, to anyone with common sense, or to anyone who owns a television or has gone to a movie theater. Examples from Season Two, the episodes I watched last night: setting up an operating theater in a dirty, abandoned building using only their limited amount of bottled water for cleaning, entering a pitch black abandoned tunnel with flashlights, but sitting and having a conversation in full light, sans flashlights. The list could go on and on. It get it about suspending disbelief, but this is ridiculous. A kidnapped prime minster, a Russian "doctor" sprung from prison to operate on the PM, a dog that "comes back to life.," a secret daughter. Korean soap opera stuff. Stop already! I'll finish the season, but I had to warn you.
OK, I finished the second season. I downgraded from 4 to 3. Utterly improbable and ridiculous. Try this on for size: I'm a highly expert international assassin. A woman discovers my true name, so I kill her, either by breaking her neck or strangling her (not shown on screen). But in my sniper nest, moments before I'm to shoot, a woman from the intelligence service appears. I've got a great idea. I won't kill her. I'll only knock her out. She'll sleep and I'll leave her and go take the shot. No way will she wake up and disrupt. No way. After all, I'm an expert international assassin. What crap.
