The New York Times Critics Pick - Best International TV Series of 2024

One of Israel’s most decorated TV series of recent years, The Lesson traces a classroom argument between a high school civics teacher (Doron Ben David, Fauda) and his student (Maya Landsman, Dismissed) which quickly spirals out of control and puts the two protagonists — and later the whole country — on a collision course. The ripple effects from their dispute reveal the many fault lines dividing modern society.

"One of the best shows to ever come out of Israel!" - Alan Zeitlin, Jewish Journal
"A classroom dispute explodes into Greek tragedy... in (this) searing new Israeli drama." - Simi Horwitz, The Forward
