A new Israeli drama series titled "The Escape," airing on Keshet 12, has premiered, featuring a prominent cast including Yehuda Levi, Mark Ivanir, Ben Sultan, and Ido Tako. The series, set in the jungles of Colombia, follows Levi as he assists a young, confused Haredi man, played by Tako, in rescuing his wife and son from an extreme, isolated cult. Ivanir portrays the cult's boundary-less leader.

Based on the initial three episodes, the series is proving to be engaging, despite not introducing a novel plot. The review suggests that the familiar actors, who frequently appear in Israeli television, create a unique dynamic together. The show's lush Colombian scenery, building tension, and the intriguing cult element are cited as reasons to continue watching.

"The Escape" is described as a potential unforgettable action series, though the review humorously notes it could also turn out to be a "rip-off." The premiere episode aired on Keshet 12 on Saturday at 9:30 PM.
