Betrayals from above & the ranks emerge also, placing the Mossad group in grave danger.

Soon, she falls into danger from the local gang of Arabs operating on Ukraine soil.

The pretty 'Abi', Yoni's nominal supervisor, shows up to rein him in-unsuccessfully, I might add. Two former Mossad agents, on the run with some purloined cash, get wasted by a mysterious assassin. They're not sure what he's up to, and neither are his bosses. Season 2 opens in the Ukraine with 3 eager new Mossad recruits being led by the indomitable Yona. At the end of Season 1, Yona has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with, but may be lacking in integrity.

Soon, it appears that Yoni, the headmaster, has his own shadowy agenda, as the recruits drop out one by one. These would-be candidates for Mossad get sent out into perilous 'training' situations-and they either sink or swim. I watched Season 1 on Netflix and was hooked from the word 'go'. Season-1 on Netflix now (hopefully, Season-2 will follow soon). Superbly-acted and written, as good as any comparable British series I have ever seen. Betrayal, heartbreak, cold-hearted 'cuts' from the team - it's a little like an NFL training camp. But, for those of you who watched Russia House, or MI-5, this is the familiar 'weary load' of those who want to break into the Intelligence Business. Mossad has cameras and bugs planted everywhere, too, to watch, just in case you try to fake the success. But, how do you get into it? Well, this series shows you what the new recruits have to go through: you might have to evade the local police who are unwittingly firing at government trainees with live ammo you might have to spy on your classmates whilst the class carries out a routine surveillance on Mr & Mrs Nobody (selected randomly from the phone book) you might have to initiate an affair with your child's teacher, who is particularly vulnerable at the moment - all this to score points with Mossad's higher echelon, just to prove. The Israelis have the best intelligence service (Mossad) on the planet - we all know that. And this is a dramatic series, remember - not a docu-drama. Hard-hitting, uncompromising, (sometimes) cold-hearted, pragmatic.
