Fauda (serial)

Season 3
Continuing where Season 2 leaves off, Doran and his team have infiltrated the home of a West Bank family, with Doran as the boxing coach for the son. Eventually the story leads the team into Gaza in pursuit of a pair of kidnapped Israeli teens. The story line is simultaneously outrageous and believable. This is outstanding drama, and horrifically tragic historical fiction exposing the reality of war and oppression and occupation. More than the first seasons, I felt the hopelessness and feelings of being defeated by all characters. We see how the idea of defeating terrorism by removing terrorists is a fallacious path. Instead, "removing" people pushes others first to defeatism and then they become cornered in anger and hatred. There are no winners in this show, that much is clear.

5 stars (out of 5)
