Unsure if the fact that I never watched the original, Fauda (on Netflix), enhances my clean-slate experience of catching its official Hindustani remake (on SonyLIV). Or does that deprive me of context, plus measure for comparison?

Either way, the reason I’d refrained from Fauda, in the first place, was a perception coloured by folks, whose opinions I trust — that the global, super-hit show, developed by former members of Israel Defence Forces, was indeed a latent, if not blatant, propaganda machine against Palestine. Could be wrong — just didn’t feel inclined enough to verify that claim.
