J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail Oct 7
The project arrives on screen both too close and too far from the events to provide any valuable new perspective into them. Its feel-good focus will please exactly no one. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Oct 7
I’m honestly not quite sure which audience is going to crave a series like Red Alert, but I can vouch that despite occasional irritatingly visible attempts to evoke response, it’s breathlessly effective. Go to Full Review
Alison Herman Variety Oct 7
It’s thus the very elements that make “Red Alert” such an affecting watch that also make the show an inherently impossible effort. Go to Full Review
Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post Oct 21
The series was created, written, and directed by Lior Chefetz, who made the Yom Kippur War movie The Stronghold that opened shortly before the current war began, and he has great skill at mixing character-driven scenes with action. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Oct 14
Red Alert tries its best to show the harrowing experience of October 7 in southern Israel while concentrating on the heroic acts that happened that day. It’s a balance that’s at times hard to maintain but it is also worth watching. Go to Full Review
Natalia Trzenko La Nación (Argentina) Oct 9
4/5
This is not a documentary that seeks to expose the different perspectives on the war in the Middle East...but rather a fictional work determined to recount...glimpses of that tragic day for humanity. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Michael C @Honestabe1 Jan 26 One of the best shows portraying a sad and despicable moment in human history See more Louise M @Louise76 Jan 1 Extremely moving insight into Oct7th through the eyes of survivors… See more Shawn C @Shawn535 Dec 9 Although very difficult to watch given the events , this is a must see. See more Tal S @RT64097932 Nov 2 This series is simply...powerful. Moving, tragic, horrifying, shocking...powerful. When you know people who actually lived through this nightmare, when you know what happened from their first-hand accounts, and then see it portrayed on film so accurately--you can get a glimpse of the horror that happened on that day. I recommend this series to anyone who wishes to understand some of the tragedy of October 7th and vow that this will never again happen. See more Rachel B @RT47709999 Nov 2 Red Alert is a gripping, harrowing drama that refuses to flinch. Based on firsthand accounts from the October 7 attacks, it honors real people with dignity and restraint. The direction avoids sensationalism, focusing instead on raw human courage—the courage of those whose stories deserve to be remembered.The cast delivers grounded, emotionally honest performances. This isn’t political commentary—it’s a moral witness to survival and loss. Essential viewing. Not easy, but necessary. See more Kate P @RT72415665 Oct 25 A harrowing watch, it captures unequivocally the savagery & barbarity of that day. The cruelty, the fear, the bravery and the heroism. It is not sensational on any level. Probably some of the best story telling I have seen in a film. My heart bleeds for those subjected to the horror of that day, and the horror that will continue for many. I hope it is seen by the masses. See more Read all reviews
