Fauda's Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz with Tatiana Siegel

The Hollywood Reporter TV Talks and 92Y present Fauda's Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz in conversation with THR senior film writer Tatiana Siegel.

The wait is over: The eagerly anticipated second season of the hit Israeli political thriller Fauda is now on Netflix. Following an elite Israeli undercover commando unit operating in the West Bank, the action-packed drama has brought home awards and gripped audiences around the world. Hear from co-creators Lior Raz (also the show’s star) and Avi Issacharoff, who based the series on their own experiences serving in the Israel Defense Force. What does it take to translate real-life danger and intrigue to the screen?

Fauda is THE best show on Netflix. I hope these guys do NOT change a thing so that it maintains the integrity of the show.

Lior Raz is a fine actor who played a difficult role but then there were also fine supporting actors. I learned so much to understand the Middle East. Please make more.

My husband and I just finished Season 4....hope there will be a 5th season....Loved it so much!!...and please do keep it in hebrew and arabic. It makes it way more realistic and hebrew language is beautiful...and I only pick up a few words.

I’m from California, USA. Am binge-watching Fauda, almost through season 3! Please don’t change a thing! It’s thrilling to see Palestine and Israel. Such amazing places for a girl from the USA to see! Love the action! Love the Cinematology, Acting and the drama of course! 🙏☮️❤️🕊

I m from India I like ur series .One of the best .

[stevenfarrington]

The interviewer asked if there were any things that were difficult to act.
I read on Wikipedia that Lior Raz when 19 lost his girlfriend to a terrorist bomb and the terrorist was caught, jailed and later released during a prisoner swap of 1 Israeli soldier to 1000 Arab prisoners. This came to mind when Doron is negotiating a prisoner swap in season 1 and says "we won't be swapping one for a thousand like in the past". The level of authenticity in this series is off the charts.

Big fan of these two legends, love from India

I love this show, am I only one who listens to it in Hebrew and reads the English subtitles? Feels so much better that way.

[reginagolovina]

Tatiana Siegel, you are bad interviewer. Fauda is one of the best show I've watched!

[jeffwilson]

Here in America my Wife and I are huge fans of Fauda. It begins, we are transported, and then the closing credits begin. We sit there shocked as if God has given us a revelation which began, continued like an eternity that you cannot take your eyes off of and then ended as quickly as it began. Everything about Fauda, actors, script, you name it, is totally compelling. Encore, Encore!

I am from South Africa and I learnt a lot of Israeli & the Palestinians in this movie, I enjoyed it and love the accent,
I can't wait for more seasons on Fauda

[AyoAweJoseph]

I watched all the 4 episodes of FAUDA in Nigeria over a period of 4days. I was so scared if my blood was tested, FAUDA will be found in it.
A lovely show, the settings were so authentic.

[judaiclay]

What made this show so universally appealing was that it dealt not only with the conflicts and terror but the price their families paid and the emotional bonds within a unit. I binge watched season 1-2 first and this year my Israeli husband binge watched it with me and there was so much that he could relate to. Excellent show! And I could understand what Lior meant by the culture and temperament of Jewish Israelis with roots in Arab countries.

[the_voice_of_reason]

Please let there be a season 4. I love this series.

[barbarah]

I am Lebanese, living in Australia, and I only discovered Fauda on Netflix yesterday. Last night I binge watched the whole of Season 1 until 4am. Seriously, it is so fantastic. The suspense is off the charts. I've watched a couple of interviews now with these guys, and I think they are so delightful. Love their sense of humour in the interviews, they are both so charming. What I love most is the way they are producing an unbiased series, respecting both sides of the war. Which is pretty incredible considering Lior used to work for the Israeli Defence Force. I'm in awe of both Avi and Lori's talent and ability to create so many episodes that radiate authenticity and intensity. You really can't help feeling empathy for some of the characters on both sides of the war. It almost feels like it's a real documentary series, not acting. It gives me some hope that one day the conflict may end, when the youth decide they don't want to hate or be so unforgiving for the sins that have happened in the past by the generations before them. Who wins when there is continuous bloodshed? Looking forward to watching Season 2 and Season 3, then Season 4. :)
