Overview

• All four episodes are now streaming on Paramount+, with Israel’s Keshet 12 airing Episode 1 and scheduling Episodes 2–4 for Oct. 8, 12 and 15.
• Created by Lior Chefetz and Ruth Efroni and executive produced by Lawrence Bender, the series received a rare public endorsement from Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison following the company’s condemnation of a boycott pledge.
• Early reviews praise the craft and immediacy while noting the creators’ choice to center real-time civilian experiences and avoid broader political or historical context.
• Each episode includes a disclaimer that some scenes are fictionalized, and the production juxtaposes cast with real survivors and incorporates select Oct. 7 footage in closing credits.
• Criticism focuses on a TV-friendly presentation and selective platforming of Israeli perspectives, including an employee petition alleging Palestinian voices are sidelined, with the ongoing war’s toll shaping how viewers receive the show.
