The show displays some measure of maturity, tossing the notion of good and evil in the Israel-Palestinian conflict with new shades of ambiguity. ... Beneath the cheesy music cues and stock villains, the show presents an intimate look at the psychological toll of the work at hand.

If you put global politics aside Fauda is still a pulse-pounding show that is never boring to watch.

Fauda is quick to crank up its thrills and spills. Yet it never loses sight of the human cost of conflict – and that unflinching quality is what makes it so engrossing.

Recommended, with reservations. .. The plotlines can get rather ornate, but the backdrops are convincing.

Some of the action clichés the show uses are getting harder to tolerate. The serious effort the show makes to humanize its Palestinian characters is continually undercut by their inability to shoot straight. ... Stollman and his fellow writers have labored to give the season’s narrative a little more structure and thematic heft. ... The notion of endless cycles of pain is embedded in a season that begins with a man leaving prison and ends with another walking in.
