Any of you guys been watching this? I just got around to watching the first 3 episodes this afternoon. It's pretty interesting. Based on a true story from 2014, 3 Jewish teens from Jerusalem were kidnapped and killed. 2 days after their funerals, an Arab teen from Jerusalem was kidnapped and his body burned.

I enjoy learning about other parts of the world, it really shows the struggles that have plagued the Middle East for millennia. Also shows you that no matter whether Jew or Arab, that parents are parents are parents when it comes to their children. 3 of 10 episodes have aired so far. Probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like true crime how things work in other corners of the world, I think you'd enjoy it.

Some reviews have complained about it dragging, but I didn't find that to be the case at all, but that could be because I'm a slow reader when everything is in subtitles.
