It’s 2022, and a friendly football match between an Israeli and a German team is planned as a mark of peace and respect for the victims of the 1972 terrorist attack. Police and secret services on all sides are on high alert to ensure the security of the event. However, when Oren Simon, a Mossad agent stationed in Berlin, intercepts a message in a dark web forum, just days before the game, he is partnered with Maria Köhler, a German State Criminal Police officer (LKA), with Lebanese roots to ensure that history does not repeat itself.

4/5
Aviram has created something as hard-boiled if not as unremittingly masculinist as her 2015 Israeli spy drama Fauda, and much more intriguing. Go to Full Review James Jackson The Times (UK) 09/22/2022
... Sombre and gritty, touching on themes of information manipulation and extremism. Go to Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times 09/19/2022
4/5
Engrossing... doesn’t directly revisit the massacre — as Steven Spielberg did in his 2005 film Munich — so much as play out under the dark, lingering clouds of the tragedy. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator 10/04/2022
Köhler is both a terrible cliché and probably an exercise in wish fulfilment on the part of screenwriter Aviram. But that doesn’t stop you rooting for her all the way. Go to Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk 09/19/2022
4/5
One of the marvels of the scripting is its control of pacing: there’s a steady drip-drip of developments and twists that leaves you permanently engaged. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
