The calm before the storm
nataraj19 January 2020
Again, like in episode 5, the pace of the story has almost grinded to a halt. Super Slo Mo

Not for lack of activities, though:

Al-Masih and the President of the U.S. have a talk about world peace - without a result, yet.

Rebecca decides to come clean and talks to her dad. He refuses to accept realities, as always.

Felix sees that everything is slipping through his fingers - he, who never had a grasp of anything but was happy being at the center of attention. He needs to wake up.

Aviram phones home and talks to Ellie - but cannot say when he'll be back. Story of his life.

Eva is worried about her father, who's in Florida. She cannot confirm suspicions about Al-Masih's past, she cannot let go of her dead husband. Too many expectations? No priority for her own wishes?

Both Samir and Jibril are with religious scholars, not quite prepared to go all in.

The calm before the storm.

It does not feel boring, at all. More like the moment when the cat crouches and prepares for the final leap - the one that gets the mouse. This is a good story, nuanced, and relevant. All of the sub-plots mean a lot to the people involved in them. Let's hope that the final two episodes deliver ...

without fake miracles, this time

Warning: Spoilers
It is the episode of the gifts. The beach covered by fishes, the talk between Al - Masih and U.S. president , Dermot Mulroney as the president Young , in a nuanced performance of a Mormon president front to his faith, the absurde demand and foolish indiscretion of his guest, Rebecca , so changed, so far by the image of the first episode, Felix front to his questions and his wife front to her fears, an Al- Masih so different by the preliminary expectations of the viewer and the flood in Florida and the loneliness of CIA agent and Israeli agent. And the feeling about a final of serie more ambiguous than you expect. That is all. A serie of gifts but not clues or revelations or answers.
