While the storytelling on One Day In October can be a bit uneven, the true stories of October 7 survivors, combined with real audio and video, kept us riveted to the relatively-short episodes.

It is also more stylistically adventurous and — perhaps because each episode focuses on a single story — more attentive to the inner lives of its protagonists [than "Red Alert"].

Don’t listen to that awful critic from Vulture, Kathryn Vander-dookie. This is obviously getting review bombed by idiots with an agenda. There’s no way anyone who’s seen this would give it a low rating. It’s well-written, expertly directed, and has some incredible acting. Any real critic would put it at the top of the best series of 2025. Watch it for yourself and decide.

The world must see the truth of what happened on October 7th! Each episode depicts horror, what was endured by innocent victims

As the world watches and waits to see if peace can be achieved, one thing is clear: “Red Alert” and “One Day in October” are stories that vividly show the price without it.

Poignant and harrowing, it’s an act of memory, confrontation, and healing, as well as a challenge to the world to reckon with, and remember, an unfathomable atrocity.

Crouched in a defensive posture, Red Alert and One Day in October are responding to an argument they’re not naming, even as they try to appear bold. .... One Day in October holds up Taasa’s grief like a blinding torch, so bright and overwhelming that the thousands of grieving parents who live mere miles from her have been obscured. Occasionally, though — in Red Alert especially — the camera drifts over to a shot of Gaza, shining high-rises looming in the distance.

Very well acted, gripping and moving. They have assembled some of Israel's best talent, such as Michael Aloni. Highly recommended as a record of October 7.
