After retiring from the Israel Defense Force, Doron is working on a vineyard. He gets roped back into active duty, though, upon learning that an enemy who Doron thought his unit had killed is still alive and plans on attending his brother's wedding. Doron rejoins the IDF team with the intention of going under cover at the wedding, but the plan goes awry when the team's cover is blown. That sets into motion a chaotic chain of events and leads IDF into a manhunt to locate and kill the squad's target.

Graeme Blundell The Australian 07/07/2023
There’s a wild strain of nihilistic outrageousness to the series. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 03/13/2017
Fauda is a thriller, and it includes plenty of violent action, but the battles and chases have a frighteningly casual, lived-in feeling. Go to Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli Village Voice 01/10/2017
With 12 episodes averaging 34 minutes each, this Israeli series carries no fat as it toggles between an elite Israeli undercover commando and his prey, a Hamas terrorist. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 12/11/2023
. It's entertaining, but also serves as a bleak reminder of the real-life, on-going discord in the area, and the toll it takes on all those who live there. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 12/19/2019
I have to say "Fauda" humanized some Palestinian characters in ways that I have not seen anywhere on American TV. Go to Full Review James Wolcott Vanity Fair 12/03/2018
Fauda stretches credulity thin towards the end of its 12-episode debut season (another is forthcoming), but by then you'll be hooked-and willing to make allowances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gary K @RT77201566 May 9 "Shake the camera up and down, and side to side, more! It makes it look exciting"... no, it doesn't. It makes it look like a cheap B movie. I lasted two minutes. Then I checked the reviews and it had a high rating so gave it another try, but when they were still moving the camera around on the quiet, still scenes I gave up. It's a sign of the standard of production overall and I don't have the patience for it. People seem to like it though, so fair enough - although from the comments I wonder whether a personal political viewpoint is the chief influence in the reviews. See more Will H. @weharvie Apr 30 So intense, nonstop intrigue. Deep, imperfect, and yet likable characters See more V P @yr_rs Jan 16 Absolute garbage. The acting is horrendous. The plots veer between absurdly simplistic to occasionally needlessly convoluted. They don't know how to develop characters nor make the audience care about anything that happens to them.

Incredibly well shot and realistic. See more gta and more B @Yarinn 08/13/2024 רמה של חול! סדרה מעניינת מאוד ומגיע בפער לדה בויס לדוגמה וברייקינג בד, מעניין מאוד! See more Read all reviews
