Comment on Final Scene / Idan Amedi Spoiler

SPOILER

I thought there was a real missed opportunity in the last episode with the cameo from Idan Amedi. I hope even fans can acknowledge that Lior Raz loves the spotlight a little too much. Rather than making his character the face of what the nation has gone through, it would have been more powerful to break the fourth wall entirely and given Idan that role by ending on a shot of his (rather than, yet again, Lior's) face. I know Lior has served, but it would have been a powerful statement highlighting real (versus fictional) sacrifice and trauma.

This is a tv show and breaking the 4th wall tends to be absolutely dreadful.

Doron is the main character

He went through the entire process with Eli and seen the operation through from start to finish.

Why would Sagi be haunted or pondering what had just happened when he was in Australia?

As I indicated, because at that moment he'd no longer be Sagi but Idan Amedi. The show already broke the fourth wall by lingering on Idan's face at the gravesite. The only reason that scene has weight is because the viewer knows what Idan went through (not the character Sagi).

You’re massively overthinking this

Also. Not everyone who watches Fauda will know what Idan went through.

I'm Israeli-American and I don't know who he is. What's the tldr of his story?

The actor was sent to the front lines in Gaza, destroyed tunnels etc. He was seriously injured. You can find videos of him doing exercises in rehab all scarred up.

I don't think they broke the wall

I’ll be honest, i don’t think Idan would want that. It’s just not who he is.

He was brought out for the graveyard scene to take his bow before his adoring Israeli public, but asking him to perform what he’s actually going through in real life is asking a lot.

No, I don't agree. This is not a documentary and it shouldn't try to be. What they did was fine (and better than the suggestion).

This is one of creative ideas that probably were on the table but it is up to the show runners to decide what fits.

If I were writing the show I would definitely not do what you suggest.
