This review will contain no spoilers. I am 4 episodes in (out of 6) and I am prepared to call this worthwhile. It is a slow burn and it can be a bit baffling as details fall into place as the story unfolds. If you like spies and deception and tension between Jews & Palestinians, this is for you! It is set in 1979 so you get that sweet, before-cell-phones-ruined-society kinda vibe. While this is an older story and was turned into a movie back in the 80s, I do think a lot of shows and films choose to go back in time just to avoid the annoyance of today's modern technology. In my opinion, early computers and rudimentary technology seem to work best when telling a tale of intrigue. Today, cameras are EVERYWHERE, people are being surveiled and tracked and DNA can determine things like never before. If I am watching a show set in today's world, I never find it realistic when someone is doing sneaky things and getting away with it. When I watched Dexter, I would always think about how nonsensical it was that he wasn't being captured on dozens of security cameras in the span of one just episode! But dial things back a few decades and stuff like that feels way better. Sure, cameras existed
