So far am loving this every bit as much as The Shadow Line, which I've watched in it's entirety 3 times. Incredible, incredible, INCREDIBLE script, fantastic direction, atmospheric as all hell, great soundtrack, wonderful and nuanced performances from everyone on screen, and multi layered and complex storytelling. The plonker that called this "timed propaganda" above is, to put it kindly, a bit simple. There is nothing here that could look like Israeli props, in fact the only Israeli that has appeared in this so far was a horrible tosspot that attempted to bring "thousands of years of history" into it, which actually from a certain perspective would be labeled as anti-Semitic writing, and the plot so far certainly doesn't particularly paint any of the characters as good or bad guys. I think mr. Blick is as brave as you like trying to do a take on such a complex issue, and doing it with the sensitivity and intelligence that it requires.

Can't wait for episode 3 already.
