Product Description
Prisoners of War is the gripping ten-part drama on which the American series Homeland is based. When three Israeli Defence Force reservists are captured behind enemy lines in Lebanon their fate is unknown, that is until seventeen years later, when they mysteriously return - two of them alive, the third in a coffin. The story of their time in captivity unfolds as they attempt to reintegrate into society; trying to cope with the pressures of being reintroduced to their families and friends, as well as handling the national hero status being thrust upon them via the public limelight. The gripping plot unravels through three time plains; before capture, life in captivity and present day, which all intertwine to reveal dark secrets about their life in captivity.

How could anyone cope with being a prisoner of war for 17 long years? This is a gripping psychological thriller with very strong characters. I thought it would be exactly the same as the US series Homeland, but this is far superior. It is very well written and acted with believable and sympathetic characters that you really come to care about. I highly recommend it.

I can only say this is so superior to Homeland. The acting is excellent and the storyline is so moving although the connection between Homeland storyline becomes more obvious as the series moves on. The last episode was just spellbinding.
Luckily enought Series 2 is being filmed or has been filmed this year in Israel, and I for one can't wait to see it.
Once again an fantastic series.

I totally agree with the other reviewers. This original,less sensationalized more human version is far
superior than the American. When watching,I was eagerly waiting the next episode. I know people who
would dismiss this version due to subtitles,that is a mistake. The acting,writing and direction is
excellent. Through great story-lines and characterization we witness the complexities of these
returning prisoners as they try to adapt to 'freedom'.

Prisoners of War
Prisoners of War is much better than Homelands in particular because of its outstanding cast and its equally outstanding direction. it is at time genuinely moving.

This made 'Homeland' seem brash and superficial, much as I enjoyed that. I liked the subtlety and the interplay of the characters, for which a slower pace is appropriate, yet the... Read more
