Hit & Run

An overdone, never ending story, with twists and turns until one doesn't care anymore. The use of Hebrew is also difficult to follow as the subtitles don't stay on the screen long enough, if at all. Many scenes are in total darkness, thus one cannot see what is happening. The story is incomplete after 9 episodes, so it appears there will be another season. Once again a Netflix product gone to waste.

A partially wasted opportunity for a good thirller .A good idea,with an unnecessary complicated unreal plot that got twisted and almost consume itself. Lior and Gal and the rest are doing a good job .Maybe another season can revive the first season? Creators of Fauda can do so much more.sorry for the 6 score .

A married tour guide with a daughter seems an unassuming guy but it turns out he has a particular set of skills honed over a lifetime which make him a nightmare for bad guys, and his friends, too, whom he seems to be trying to get killed. If you don't do what he wants, he will search for you, he will find you, and he will kill you.

A decent show but Segev and many others keep making silly moves. Segev is stupidly confrontational with everyone he meets. We're supposed to excuse this because his wife died. He's very demanding of his friends without offering much to them in return. He also seems to make little effort to hide or conceal himself yet the authorities are mostly unable to find him, or hold him.

The show is filmed mostly in darkness to contribute to the serious tone? The serious tone is supposed to make the audience take everything seriously, but the show could use some comic relief.

This Israeli series opens with protagonist Segev Azulay being attacked in a New York jail. We then move back three weeks and see how this Tel Aviv tour guide came to be in a jail on the other side of the world. The event that triggers everything is the death of his wife; she is killed by a hit and run driver. At first it is assumed to be an accident but it soon emerges that those involved have left the country and headed to New York. Segev starts to suspect that it was no accident as a man he helped put in jail is also in New York. He flies out and meets old friend Ron Harel and journalist Naomi Hicks, who he was once involved with. The more he investigates the more he wonders about his wife; what he learns suggests she wasn't the woman he thought she was. The investigations lead to some very dangerous situations for Segev and those helping him.

I largely chose to watch this series as I'd enjoyed Lior Raz's performance in Fauda. Once again he doesn't disappoint, bringing a gritty and believable toughness to Segev's character. I was a little surprise, given that it claimed to be in English, a significant portion of the dialogue was in subtitled Hebrew... personally I prefer this but fear people not expecting to have to read subtitles may have dropped the series leading to it being cancelled after a single season. The story started well and kept me gripped from start to finish; there are plenty of twists and turns and lots of gritty action. There is a real sense of danger even for major characters. The cast is solid throughout. Overall I thought this was really good; it is just a shame that it was cancelled after just one season. Many questions are answered but new ones were raised that left me wanting more. I would recommend it to viewers wanting action and murky drama but caution that the lack of a proper conclusion is frustrating.

Gripping. Good storyline and direction. Gets better as it progresses.

Lior has done justice to his role. Second Israeli series for me after Fauda - keep it up with the good work.
