Anyone watch the new Israeli show on Netflix "When heroes fly"?

Thought it was decent though has plenty of holes but the part that bothered me is the underlying knock on religion, I have not seen it on Fauda/Shbabnikim/Shtisel but this one seemed to make it more obvious.

I have only watched the first few episodes (In middle of #4), so I haven't really seen the knock on religion - but enjoying it so far.

Spoiler Alert
I finished watching the first season - I am curious what you thought was anti-religious? Characters going OTD?

Intermarriage in Israel is Taboo/going off the derech and staying married to a fully religous women is also a no-no

1) While those might be no-nos, I would hardly call that Anti-religious
2) Benda and Maria are not married, and Dubi only expresses his desire to stop being religious at the very end - he wears a kippa until the very last scene he is in.
3) Earlier you mentioned that you haven't seen it on Fauda/Shababnikim, but the same type of relationships exist - Shirin and Doron on Fauda, and (although I didn't fully watch it) Avinoam and Shira on Shababnikim.
4) If anything, Benda Echoes some remorse of being with Maria in their last scene (in the hospital in bogota).
5) Dubi is very complex, dealing with all of the PTSD from Azoulay's death and Yaeli's death/dissappearance/re-appearance. He's not some guy who just abandoned religion at random.

2)To end the show that he does marry her and him taking off the Kippah is the statement they are making.
3)Shirin and Doron were not and never were religous

2) I think that Dubi removing his kippa is more of a statement about his PTSD than anything else. It's not meant to show disdain for religion, but to show where his journey is.
3) Benda isn't religious either, and there is no indication that he was. Doron makes plans to meet up with Shirin in France up until the event with his dad.

Patriot Season 2. That show is wacky.
As easy as the first season was this one is just impossible to watch. Backed up on all the other Amazon stuff as a result. Still havent watched Goliath or finished Man in the High Castle. Now need to watch Hanna and Bosch Season 5.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Watched Hanna, I thought that the action was good, and that the ending left enough open questions for the next season. I could've done with a little less of the teen angst.

Really liked Deception but they stopped it after 1 season and impostors also really good.

But the latter group is def more similar to the OP's group of shows.
