Fauda
After retiring from the Israel Defense Force, Doron is working on a vineyard. He gets roped back into active duty, though, upon learning that an enemy who Doron thought his unit had killed is still alive and plans on attending his brother’s wedding. Doron rejoins the IDF team with the intention of going under cover at the wedding, but the plan goes awry when the team’s cover is blown.

Decades after she was captured, imprisoned serial killer Jeanne Deber is asked by Paris’ police commissioner to help solve a series of unsolved murders being committed by someone who is copying her crimes from years earlier. Jeanne — who was known as “The Mantis” during her days as a criminal — agrees, but only if estranged son Damien — now a detective — works alongside her. He reluctantly agrees so that they can try to end the copycat’s crime spree. Time is of the essence because as the investigation goes on, the number of victims continues to rise.
