About
"A true story about the cost of a lie"
This limited series dramatizes the true story of Eli Cohen, an Israeli man recruited by the Mossad to infiltrate Syria's political and military elite in the early 1960s under a false identity. It's a tense, slow-building espionage drama that trades gadgets and gunfights for psychological strain, loneliness, and the toll of sustained deception on a man and his marriage. Sacha Baron Cohen anchors it with a surprisingly restrained, dramatic performance. The pacing is deliberate rather than thrilling, and the show leans into dread as much as suspense.
Sacha Baron Cohen's quietly devastating performance as a man disappearing into his own cover story.
you want fast-paced spy action rather than slow psychological tension.
