This dramatic thriller centers on four friends -- Israeli military veterans -- who reunite for a final, deeply personal rescue mission 11 years after having a bitter falling out. They travel to the Colombian jungle in search of Yaeli -- the former lover of one man and sister of another -- who they had presumed was dead. The Hebrew-language series, a story of fighting for life and overcoming personal demons to find peace, is based on a book of the same name.

Joel Keller Decider 01/14/2019
The show tries to show some balance, and that anything can happen in the fog of war. Go to Full Review Adrian Hennigan Haaretz 01/14/2019
3.5/5
The show's portrayal of PTDS is more believable than the depictions we've seen in the likes of American Sniper, even if it does end up getting lost in the jungle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Liz M @RT15803060 08/26/2022 Not great but quite good. The ensemble cast was strong, well acted, and the storyline, while preposterous, seemed believable while watching it! Pace was good, dialogue could be improved but overall, enjoyable. See more 10/12/2021 Complex and glorious. Visually stunning. See more 01/08/2021 Superbly acted and gripping story. Shows how soldiers are affected who have experienced war. Bonds of frienfship. See more 07/20/2020 Superb. Gripping. Beautifully acted. Totally worth seeing. See more 07/12/2020 I loved this series. The actors are familiar from other Israeli TV shows and are superb. As a therapist, I found the depictions of PTSD, complex grief and loss spot on and quite moving. I also liked that the therapist character was wise and compassionate. Highly recommend. See more 05/27/2020 Not really taken by it... See more Read all reviews
