Mama's Angel

A reasonably intense and authentic offering, that avoids the overly-dramatic thrills and spills that swamp our TV murder mysteries. Rather, it seeks to paint a picture of a people's culture, how they react to each other, and how the wider society treats them.

Expect less focus on police procedures and instead, witness a community's emotional response to the worst kind of tragedy. The outrage too, that is felt when the more marginalized members of Israeli society are faced with systemic injustices.

Thoughtfully conceived and generally well executed, although the story's ending perhaps drags on a little too long. (7.4/10)
