Overview
- All four episodes are now streaming globally on Paramount+, following a staggered rollout on Israel’s Keshet 12.
- Created by Lior Chefetz and Ruth Efroni with executive producer Lawrence Bender, the series was publicly championed by Paramount CEO David Ellison.
- The production draws on survivor testimony in near real time, displays a disclaimer that some scenes are fictionalized, and sparingly incorporates actual Oct. 7 footage.
- Reviews praise the intimate, harrowing focus on civilians while faulting the lack of broader political context and interrogating the ethics of reusing real images.
- The release lands the same day as HBO Max’s One Day in October, sharpening cross-platform comparisons as industry petitions and boycott efforts scrutinize how Oct. 7 is portrayed.
