Talking of torture, Zero Dark Thirty will look tame compared to what the Hezbollah is shown doing with its prisoners.

I have to agree with the Guardian. I am trying to find a way to watch Season 2. It makes you feel so repulsed by Hezbollah ( and other terrorists)

hatufim

i watched a couple of episodes of "hatufim", the israeli drama on POWs and their reintegration to their old lives. so far, it has been quite engrossing and well acted.
of course, there is the way-too-slick, dumbed down american version of it, "homeland," which can't do without the glamour, fast action and thrills, relevant or not. i was so put off by "homeland" and am really glad that i found the original.
the following says it best:
ONE is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that taps into the arresting
concept of the enemy within. Its protagonist is a former prisoner of war
with an outsize sense of betrayal whose behaviour arouses the
suspicions of an unhinged CIA agent.
The other is a measured family drama that digs deep into the
mindsets of prisoners of war and the turmoil they and their families
face when they return to civilian life. One has recognisable and
accomplished stars and production values equal to a big-budget Hollywood
movie. The other has less-saleable attractions: tightly written scripts
that subtly lead us from one scene to the next; intriguing moral
conundrums about loyalty, suspicion and guilt; and emotionally charged
depictions of estranged families and the scars of war.
