Fauda's fifth season turns on the Oct. 7 attack. That attack acts as the driving force. The show has reached No. 1 on Netflix in Lebanon. That result has drawn attention 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 put up 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. 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 is titled 'Two screens, one choice: The lie of Naza and the truth of Fauda.' The title sums up the stance.
