   Is the story of 'The Spy' based on a true event?

   • The Spy is based on a true event. Eli Cohen went undercover in Syria as Kamel Amin Thaabet in the early 1960s, aligned himself with key military and government personnel, and fed intel back to Israel. However, as with all fictional works that derive from real-life events, The Spy, for various reasons such as time constraints or story relevance, omits some points in Cohen's story.

   Is Spyship a good show?

   • Spyship is a well written, well acted, and well directed show that suffers from the flaws of poor pacing, and poor scripting in places. Scenes will plod along slowly and pointlessly to a conspiracy that's frankly not all that amazing to reveal (though this does make it realistically plausible).
