The New York Times reports that this season speaks to audiences' attitudes toward Israel. The report points to those attitudes in detail. The Times of Israel names it another terrific season. IMDb has listed all main cast members for season 5. The cast list includes the full lineup for the new season. A jns.org piece sets up a contrast between Fauda and the series Naza.
