Fauda's fifth season turns on the Oct. 7 attack. That attack serves as the central focus. The show has reached No. 1 on Netflix in Lebanon. That result marks a milestone for the series. The New York Times reports that this season reflects audiences' attitudes toward Israel. The report examines those attitudes in detail. The Times of Israel names it another terrific season. IMDb has posted all main cast members for season 5. The cast list shows every main role for the new season. A jns.org piece sets up a contrast between Fauda and the series Naza. The piece frames Fauda as a true account and Naza as a lie. That framing draws a sharp line between the shows. The jns.org article bears the title 'Two screens, one choice: The lie of Naza and the truth of Fauda.' The title captures the argument.
