A terrible series in an even more terrible time. I actually wanted to stop watching it right after the first episode, but then I was curious to see if it would stay this one-sided portrayal. Poor people who are born into this conflict that becomes their life - on both sides of the border. Overall, I don't like the one-sided portrayal of Israel's point of view, the glorification of violence and the anti-Semitism towards Arabs. The series would have been a chance to show the conflict on both sides of the border in a human way. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a one-sided ideological portrayal that glorifies and legitimizes violence and portrays all Arabs as an untrustworthy, violent group. As a German, I am ashamed because this series is a co-production between Israel and Germany. We have given millions of Arabs a new home and live together here in peace. Our constitution and past prohibit the different treatment of people of any origin or race. This should have been incorporated into the production. The end of the series in particular shows that the producers' only answer is to stop violence with the help of other violence. And that is precisely the only message of this series. 1/5 stars
