Our Boys

I have really mixed feelings about this series. On the one hand, it was a great insight into the Palestinian-Israeli relations with all the manipulations and political pressures that show how human life doesn't matter; on the other, the creators probably suffered from Alzheimer's because in some episodes they lost track of the previous story, and the result was a bit odd, to put it mildly. 4*- (16/09/2020)

The biblical phrase "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" is perhaps more true on the hot soil of Israel than elsewhere. I must admit that all of this gives me the creeps. Who is actually in the right and who is not? Who to pity and who not to pity? Similar questions and dilemmas related to the topic fill my mind. Still, I have the persistent feeling that if the creators had condensed the plot into six episodes, the whole story would have packed much more of a punch and certainly been more attractive to the audience.
