Found a hidden gem - ‘Bad Boy’. Israeli TV series made in 2023 that came to Netflix just 2 days ago.
Quick note: It’s an Israeli production, but it is an incredibly universal coming-of-age story and doesn’t revolve around the typical narratives you might associate with the region. It’s purely focused on its characters and their journey.
The performances, especially from the younger cast members, are simply outstanding. They bring such authenticity and depth to their roles; it’s honestly captivating to watch.
If you appreciate character-driven dramas with heart, humour, and fantastic acting, you owe it to yourself to seek this one out. It’s the kind of quality television that reminds you why you love the medium.
