Dark movies are a genre. Film noir is the customary name for them, though there are some not so dark. The Third Man is not exactly film noire since it lacks a female of evil, but it too is dark and much loved for it. If Ja,Ed Bond were an Israeli this would be his film debut. It is not a finished product and th second series is expected, at least by me. The acting is terrific. The story is complex, which fits the series format. It is well worth seven hours if one loves film, intreague and action films.
