I'm surprised at the very average rating this movie gets here. Either people hate the Beatles, which should be a criminal offence, or they have no imagination or sense of fun. If you're looking for logic and an explanations of what it was that created a situation where the Beatles never existed except for a handful of people who incongruously remember them...well, it's a movie. The songs are brilliant, of course they are, even when not performed by the actual Beatles, but it's the story and cast - all excellent - who make the movie fly. It's not The Godfather, it's just a lot of fun. Just enjoy it. There are worse ways to spend a couple of hours.

I've been watching the first season, and it's okay, but in not the same league as the brilliant Fauda - the best Israeli series ever. Mostly I find the main character to be the worst Mossad agent in history. She disobeys orders, makes endless stupid choices, hasn't got brains enough to have a scarf covering her hair at military checkpoint...on and on and on. With agents like this, Israel would have been crushed decades ago. The best characters are the Iranian investigator, and the Iranian inside man that Mossad have in place but who their erratic agent keeps undermining. Not sure if I'll watch the second season. PS: The final episode was good, with twists I never saw coming. Now watching the second season. Again the main character drives me crazy - just irrational and the worst ever agent - but tgere are other good characters. If I had the option, I'd raise my score to 6.5.

I wearied of this very quickly. Seemed interesting at the outset - the idea of a psychologist saying what he really thinks patients should do had good comic potential, but that was over and done with after a couple of episodes. After that there just seemed to be nothing but swearing and sexual innuendo. Do Americans really say f@$k in every sentence? Do they use that word multiple times in every conversation with their children, and do their children respond using the same word over and over? I've never found that when travelling in the US, but maybe I went to the wrong places. Either way, the show went from interesting to charmless very quickly and I lost all interest in the characters, who seemed like paper cut-outs.
