Been a great series portraying a spy which was so good in his character he actually started to believe he was him.
Each episode is better than the last and I find myself thinking back to those times when this was taking place - back in the dark ages of my life! The outdoor shots are wonderful and the costumes are very well done. This is a good series and an easy history lesson for this era in many different countries. Israel has faced huge obstacles, always, but I admire the country and the people as a whole.
