Critics' reviews

"[2nd Season Review]: [It] retains much of what made the first season absorbing. The action and the interplay among the team members have a down-and-dirty credibility, and the plot twists, while convoluted, are plausibly so"

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"[It] is one of those hidden gems in the seemingly infinite stream of Netflix television series (...) Is notable for trying to humanize figures on both sides (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Michael Starr: New York Post
"'Fauda' is a thriller, and it includes plenty of violent action, but the battles and chases have a frighteningly casual, lived-in feeling."

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"Sure, some of the set pieces are conventional (...) But the series is so efficiently directed that you likely won’t care, and its engaging realism raises thought-provoking issues about terrorism and abuses of power"

Elisabeth Vincentelli: Village Voice
"[2nd Season Review]: The most gripping action thriller on television now"

David Sexton: London Evening Standard
"[An] excellent entertainment. There is a hushed, intelligent quality to it and an acrid sense of pessimism."

John Doyle: The Globe and Mail
