Has anybody watched "The Spy" with Sacha Baron Cohen?

It's a drama about Israeli spy Eli Cohen who infiltrated Syria in the 60s prior to the 1967 War. Excellent short series! Cohen is very good as a dramatic actor in this.

I was afraid he'd come off as Borat-ish, too, but I thought he did a great job. geardaddy Sep 2019 #4

Thanks for clarifying, it did look a bit Borat-ish on the cover image, but i guess.. sarah92 Oct 2019 #5

I’m a sucker for that period and the production is fantastic. The only problem I have so far is he still runs like Borat.
