Very compelling start to this new show. I really like shows like Alias and Homeland and therefore I knew I had to watch this as soon as I saw the trailer on AppleTV+. And I was not disappointed by this premiere episode. Can‘t wait to see where the story is going.
Great to watch this in it’s own language
Does anyone know if English subtitles are available anywhere ?

I'll keep watching because the plot could get interesting, and the attention to detail considering the low budget is quite impressive, but suspension of disbelief is probably going to have to be on overdrive. There are a few plot holes:
1. There is no way that kind of coincidence in the airport bathroom could ever happen.
2. The Israeli woman blurting everything out in the interrogation room to her male friend is the dumbest thing ever. Anyone with half a brain cell would know NOT to say anything, as there would be cameras and microphone recording everything, yet she goes ahead and gives away almost every detail of the spy's history. One would think the 8200 unit would teach its ex-soldiers how to keep their mouths shut, it's pretty basic behaviour.
3. Why couldn't the Israeli hacker do the karate moves on the sleazy boss in the computer room to begin with, and then continue with the hacking uninterrupted?
However, I understand these plot points needed to happen in order to move the plot forward somehow and create suspense, I just wish the writing was better. Overall though, this was a solid and entertaining first episode.
