The Spy (2019)
3/10
A propaganda series.
4 May 2020
You can't really miss it being a one-sided, very biased series and it looks like it's part of along ongoing propaganda to return Cohen's remains back. Some of the events in the series were true of course, yet it is full of lapses in historical accuracy. It was very silly to show that all Syrians are cheap, stupid and money-diggers while victimising the Israelis as poor people who are just trying to protect 'their' land (a brutally stolen one) from the Syrians. Even Raff, writer and director, said in one of the meetings that he "didn't really care about the truth when making the series, as he doesn't consider it to be a documentary". Yet, it's being presented as a historical truth dose. I gave it three stars only to praise the performance of Sasha Baron Cohen and Alexander Siddig.
