The Spy

The Spy tells the story of legendary Israeli spy Eli Cohen. Eli Cohen lived in Damascus undercover in the beginning of the '60s, spying for Israel. He managed to embed himself into Syrian high society and rise through the ranks of their politics until he was uncovered by the Syrian regime, sentenced to death and publicly hanged in a Damascus square in 1965. Cohen is considered a national hero in Israel. His actions, connections and immense sacrifice have had lasting consequences, shaping the Middle East of today.

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.
