      Mira Fox The Forward Unfortunately, the political intrigue, insight into Israeli culture and rich character development that drew viewers to other Israeli hits, such as “Fauda” and “Shtisel,” are missing from this newest addition to the Yes Studios stable. Rated: C- Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Justine Kraemer Tell-Tale TV Ultimately, while the series makes for a captivating period piece, it hasn’t yet fully lived up to its potential.

      Rolando R So creative and entertaining ! Unbelievable make up artistry. I havent enjoyed a series as much as this in years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review R u Gripping from start to finish its like if a soap opera had a child with an epic historical drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Sam A Overall, the show is decent, with good acting. Two things I really dislike though : 1) the constantly changing timeline : confusing and irritating. 2) the constant inconsistency in the religious behavior of people. I'm not saying people can't be inconsistent in their faith, but at that level, it's weird and off putting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Banke d Best series I've ever watched. It's captivating, intriguing, and rich with it's story lines. Superb acting. Hope there are more seasons in the future. Well done to all those involved! 👏👏👏 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Richard B Great story with excellent acting. Each actor marvelously developed their characters in engaging ways, superb drama with great humour. Bring on Season 3, best series in years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/23 Full Review Michele R Lovely show. People complaining about it here in these reviews, saying they only watched 20 minutes are just not too bright. Why even review something when you didn't bother to give it a chance? Annoys me so bad! This is a lovely show. I hope they renew it for at least another season (season 3 please!).
