The story · English

The second season of the Israeli television series "The Gentlemen" is proving successful, with its exaggerated style resonating with audiences. The show, which has been compared to other popular series, is noted for its ability to transform dramatic or even horrific real-life stories into compelling television content. This season continues to explore themes that have captured viewer attention, building on the foundation laid in its first run.

Alongside "The Gentlemen," other recommended September series include "Slow Horses," which returns for a new season, and a reunion of stars from "Call My Agent!" (known in Hebrew as "10 Percent"). The article also touches upon broader trends in television, lamenting how algorithms may have negatively impacted the medium, and briefly mentions a Nordic series about ritualistic murders, acknowledging its cliché nature but effectiveness.

Further recommendations delve into diverse genres, such as a dark superhero drama that appeals to a wider audience than just genre fans. The digest also includes a piece on choosing coffee, a UN update on a new world map accurately representing Africa's size, and a reflection on how media exposure can lead to increased foolishness and violence. Additionally, there's a personal narrative about returning to childhood memories in Holon to confront self-homophobia, and a mention of a script sent to actor Assi Cohen that was returned within an hour.
