Kfulim

From the makers of the brilliant Prisnors Of War (Homeland) we have an equally gripping drama series False Flag. There are similarities between the two shows only this time we have several individuals from different backgrounds accused of kidnapping a Russian minister in Moscow. Each one of them seems incapable and unlikely to be involved in such a crime but as each episode passes you begin to doubt there innocence, and believe that they may be involved in one way or another. Brilliant writing excellent acting it's hard to find any faults with this series. highly recommend 9/10

Season 1 was engaging. There were too many characters. I agree with the commenter who said the quality dropped off over the course of the season.

Season 2 had better focus. There were many, many plot holes and the conclusion was disappointing.

The main investigator wasnt a sufficiently strong actor to carry the series.. Some of the supporting actors and actresses were very good.

Even with this criticisms, many viewers will find the show entertaining.

It starts really well, interesting plot about some random people accused to have kidnapped an Iranian politician. Episode 2-3 are still good but then it starts to slow down and the pace of the movie is not good enough. There are a lot of staring and not answering just to make the show going. The end is quite disappointing.

My wife and I just saw the first two episodes at the SF Jewish Film Festival. Although I didn't see the Israeli "Prisoners of War" before it was adopted in the US as Homeland, I loved Homeland. But the first two episodes of Kfulim, or False Flag, were even better than Homeland, which was great. The subtitles (the show is in Hebrew) don't detract at all from the intense suspense.

This totally engrossing thriller - all without any violence so far - is compelling even in a theater, and I'll watch compulsively streaming or on TV. After two episodes, all we have is mysteries, so the eight-episode season holds great promise.

No wonder they say the Israeli originals are better!

Was bored so decided to check "False Flag" out not expecting a subtitled series to be interesting enough to hold my attention for more than a few minutes. Couldn't have been more wrong. Upon watching the opening scenes, I immediately remembered reading about a very similar real-life scandal that made the news back in 2010 in which Israeli immigration officials allegedly illegally copied a number of British passports that were subsequently misused in the assassination a high ranking member of Hamas. Although the movie had little to do with the actual events, it kept me watching for long enough to get hooked to the point that by the conclusion of the first episode I couldn't stop watching. Well paced with few dull moments, interesting characters and good acting. No shortage of intrigue and treachery. Lot's of espionage, crime, action and drama.
