The confession scene is brutal, but the part that really stuck with me is the moment when Angel literally weighs their sins. They both confess to the same thing, yet somehow, Tess’s past is heavier—because she’s a woman, because society is unfair, because Victorian morality is rotten to the core.
You can see her holding onto hope, believing for just a second that love and honesty will save her. And then Angel, who was so full of ideals, so different…
It's definitely a psychological horror for anyone who’s ever been asked, “When are you having kids?” Watching Leila’s husband cave to family pressure to take a second wife is like seeing a slow-motion car crash, except the car is your faith in love and commitment. By the end, you’ll be more terrified of in-laws than any ghost story could ever make you.
I strongly disagree with comments claiming that Fauda is one-sided!!!! The show does an excellent job of humanising characters and showcasing that both Israelis and Palestinians are capable of both good and bad actions. The storytelling is top-notch, with compelling character arcs and high-stakes drama that keep you on the edge of your seat. In a world where political narratives are often one-sided, Fauda stands out by blurring the lines and presenting a more nuanced view of a deeply entrenched conflict.
