Throughout the series, Israel is depicted as washed-out and grey whereas the locations where Cohen works as Kamel Thaabeth are brightly colored. Red and yellow items are occasionally highlighted within the portrayed greyness of Israel, as they are the colors of danger and caution, respectively.
In the title sequence there are photos from the 1960s (when the series takes place) except the photo of Nelson Mandela that was taken after his release from prison (it was taken in 1994).
Great espionage 6-piece despite how frustrating both sides of the lake have been over the years. Cohen has finally landed a role that suits him to the dot, pity he wasn't cast for Freddy Mercury, I suppose his age was a serious factor. The series has very tense scenes at times, some tolerable melodrama here and there, overall a must watch if you are not easily insulted by the ongoing conflict from either side of the border.
