The New York Times reports that this season speaks to audiences' attitudes toward Israel. The report highlights those attitudes in detail. The Times of Israel labels it another terrific season. IMDb has put up all main cast members for season 5. The cast list shows every main role for the new season. A jns.org piece highlights a contrast between Fauda and the series Naza.
