Yosi, the Regretful Spy (2022–2023)
8/10
Overall really good but could have been better
8 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I watched it over 2 days that's how good it was....good acting, writing, and story line. The flashbacks imo were needed however they did do them more than they needed to. The story line with Saul however dragged and dragged. The man was involved in shady activity but it focused way too much on him that I don't know why Yosi/Jose bothered to keep recording him and talking to him about what he was doing since he started to realize the Andinia Plan was just bs. It was however clear that he was just a "useful idiot" in that his mission was just really a ploy get surveillance on where the attacks would be rather than the stupid Andinia Plan

Questions I have though that I'm hoping viewers will address....

1. I understand Yosi resented his Jewish stepfather for having an affair with his mother, but what I cannot figure out is if the stepfather was actually his biological father. Was his mother married and then had the affair making Yosi believe that her 1st husband was his father?

2. Why exactly was Victor so important that he had to be set up? His character to me wasn't really needed in the plot.

3. Was Yosi actually in love with Eli? I couldn't figure that one out since she never had any information that would have helped Yosi. It just came out of nowhere that all of a sudden they are into each other when they didn't appear to be more than acquaintances.

4. Why did Eli end up marrying Victor? Was it to just give her son a father figure?

5. Was Aaron a Mossad agent?

6. How did Luis climb up the career ladder so quickly?

7. Why was so much of the focus even on Saul?

I figure in season 2 that we will see more of Yosi's relationship relationship with Eli, Yosi hiding out more trying to repent, as well as Daphne sadly getting murdered.

Other things that were't needed imo: -Yosi getting sexually assaulted in the first episode. What was the point of having that scene?

-Yosi having a dog and then surrendering it to a kennel/shelter. Again why?

-The storyline of Yosi having Shabbat dinners with the gay rabbi and the poor people

I guess the writers want to make Yosi viewed as an antihero, but the truth is, he's a piece of **** just like everyone else his secretly worked for. I cannot get over him vandalizing the cemetery especially doing it to the stone of the nice old woman he was working for husband.... Broke my heart.

A little history- Like many countries in Latin america, Argentina has an unstable political climate going from one extreme to the other, with both sides being a bunch of antisemites. The country did very little to nothing at trying to solve any of the crimes involving the 2 attacks as well as claiming an attorney's death as a suicide rather than a homicide (which people seem to know was bs like Epstein lol). Both Argentina and Chile cover up a lot of crimes of when people have gone missing when their families know what really happened to them.
