Fauda - An Awesome Netflix Quarantine Binge

One advantage to the stay at home order is that you can find enjoyment in the simple things. After all, you ain't going nowhere. So, Netflix tends to help.

Fauda is quite simply an awesome show, and Season 3 just became available on Netflix yesterday.

Fauda is an Israeli TV series about a Mista'arvim counter-terrorist unit and its members. A Mista'arvim unit is one where the Israeli forces impersonate Arabs and act deep undercover before moving to thwart various terrorist plots.

Fauda is part mystery, part action, and part drama. The series simply rocks.

The show is best watched with English subtitles, don't try and use the dubbed audio as it eliminates the flavor of the show.

I daresay each season is better than the one before.

I watched 4 of the episodes from Season 3 yesterday and expect to see as many today, starting later when I'm done with various tasks around the house. The show has indeed gotten even better and more intense this season.

Well worth watching.

Sherlock Is A Sure Hit

Sherlock is a fantastic new series from the BBC.

An awesome reboot of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson into the modern era. I was quite skeptical at first, being a traditionalist when it comes to Holmesian things, but as soon as I watched an episode, I was hooked.

Excellent acting with good, strong, original mysteries with tension and humor. Very, very well done as only the British at their finest can perform.

See this trailer for a hint of its greatness:



In short, you don't need to be the world's greatest consulting detective to deduce that this series is worth watching.

On the contrary, that fact is elementary my dear reader.
