Eli Cohen, a true spy in the history of the Middle East, Mossad's ace agent, Israel's national hero. However, in the drama, he does not have the 007-style protagonist halo, but is portrayed as a flesh and blood ordinary person. He is smart but quick-tempered, sometimes appears reckless, and almost reveals his identity. He is courageous but also scared, vomiting with fear in the first act. At the same time, he is also a loving and righteous man and father. He loves his wife and two daughters deeply. His pregnant wife has made him doubt and shrink back. Many years of spying career made him accustomed to Kamal's identity as a businessman, but his true identity and life became a kind of pretense, so the shots in Syria are in color, while the shots in Israel are in black and white. However, the deepening of his spy career has made his situation more and more dangerous. Cohen chose the former between the country and the family not out of his fascination with false identities, but out of national justice. Lights up. The series is very good in portraying the characters, and the dramatic conflicts between the characters are also very exciting. It has a psychological interpretation of the behavior and choices of each main character, which narrows the distance between the audience and the real historical events, such as Cohen The supervisor's extraordinary care for Cohen's wife has a reasonable and good reason to be revealed. The dialogue between the characters is also very attractive and evocative. The actor's performance is also remarkable. Sasha Byron Cohen, who plays the leading actor, jumped out of the comic and satirical character design of pissing, turning into a silent but determined, impulsive but persistent spy, which is refreshing.
