The German - 2025 - 6/10

Uri and Anna have been married and at the kibbutz for 25 years.
Son Eitan primed to join the air force, daughter Tamar to graduate university.
Uni, developer of a new irrigation process, needs to fly to Germany to seal the deal.
Compounding matters, Mossad asks Uri to deliver a small packet.
Germany, where horrible memories and an uneasy past lurk near the surface.
Where the recipient, an ex-Nazi, perceives something in Uri.
Mossad is delighted and Uri is pulled deeper into darkness and away from the kibbutz.
What follows is a high-strung thriller that buckled at the end.
The finale is truncated. Either producers could not find an ending, or opted for season 2.
I found the overall conceit completely implausible.
