Fauda keeps up the pace and tension right to the end

The Israeli 12-part miniseries Fauda starts well and, unlike many such programs, maintains its pace, tension, and moral ambiguity right up to the end - a great ensemble piece w/ strong writing and plot and character development, good acting by all the leads - Israeli and Palestinian both - good production values including the haunting score and the use of street locations, and a story line that offers some insight on the complexity of combating terrorism while trying, against the odds, not to sink as ethically low as one's antagonists. Obviously, the sympathy is all on the side of the Israelis, that's a given, but it's impossible not to like the Palestinian doctor who gets caught up in the web of this manhunt and is abused and deceived by all parties. I won't give any spoilers here, but will only say that the final episode leaves a few doors open - making us think what it would be like to live in the aftermath of these tragic and bloody events (involving shootings, bombings, kidnapping and abduction, prisoner abuse, sexual politics, medical ethics, and deception of every sort) and leaving open the possibility of a 2nd season, although I don't see any evidence that another season is in the works [update: apparently a season 2 is in the works]. Usually it's best to quit while you're ahead.
