Fauda's fifth season turns on the Oct. 7 attack. That attack becomes the season's core. 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 addresses audiences' attitudes toward Israel. The report points to 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 features the complete cast 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 marks a stark divide between the shows. The jns.org article bears the title 'Two screens, one choice: The lie of Naza and the truth of Fauda.' The title sums up the stance.
