... A Body That Works was Israel's highest-rated-drama last year... deserving all praise it gets, all facets are working-top-notch... casting, writing, acting, production ... Rotem Sela and Gal Malka awarded-sharing the Best Actress prize for an international series at Series-Mania-awards in France... tackling surrogacy, a genre not easy pulling off this well for an entire eight episode series.. A Body That Works makes you want to stream every-episode non-stop
... already green-lighted for a second season, it will be exceptionally interesting seeing what comes next for all these characters... most viewers-fans would more than likely want to have the 'family' come-back-together... that may very well happen, yet if it does, it's probably not going to come easily-quickly, if at all ... many very good shows come from Israeli production companies... it's unfortunate the state of our world hampering true recognition that they well deserve... let's all-hope-pray that's to soon change
... an article in Variety from February talks about all four of the lead characters Iddo, Tomer, Chen & Ellie returning in a six-episode second-season... and that they remain-separated, co-parenting, while discussing possibilities having-another-child... Tomer's labeling as a "love interest" adding curiosity ... so seems-like we once again pick up near exactly where all left off... should be another highly anticipated series, can't wait
... if would have any real criticisms of any characters-developed, it's how readily-freely the-wayward-wife transforms him to a subservient-cuckold over-for several-months, until the surrogate implores-her-return to-help-her.. only then does she show any real feelings-remorse towards him at all... likely why, the pair-still-remain separate-distanced ("what-home Ellie.. there is no-home") into this new upcoming series of shows
... 10.04.24 - watching the series a second time... what's missing most from this production's storyline is logical-necessary-dialogue between the two main protagonists... there's a good deal of reasoning-conversation between Chen and Iddo, and then also between Tomer and Ellie, but much-is-glaringly-missing between Ellie and Iddo... there could have should have been much more, it would have been a bit of a challenge, so as not to affect the overall plot line of their strained marriage, with eventual outcome of her total-abandonment of him and their yet to be born child... but without it, the entire unchallenged rationale of her blatant 'in-your-face' infidelity gets called into question.. and why-how-can-he act so subserviently while this 'other-man' is most-obviously-directly-stealing his 'true-love' right out from underneath him (literally)
