What's the Story?
BROS (aka Ba'esh Uvamayim) is a dramatic comedy about two best friends who constantly find themselves involved in mishaps. Pini (Hanan Savyon) and Nisso (Guy Amir) have been best friends since childhood and now co-own a Jerusalem sports bar. They're also super fans of Beitar Jerusalem, the local football (soccer) club. When a young man opens a nightclub next door, it threatens their business. Meanwhile, each of them are facing personal challenges at home. In hopes of getting away from it all, the two decide to go to Poland to see Beitar play Wisla Krakow. But one thing leads to another, and soon mayhem ensues.
Is It Any Good?
The fun series is Netflix's first fully Hebrew and Israeli production intended for international distribution (and is available dubbed and subtitled in English). Despite being written and performed by real-life friends Hanan Savyon and Guy Amir, it's not completely autobiographical. The chemistry between them creates some laugh-out-loud, silly moments. The two middle-aged characters consistently making dumb decisions, which inevitably leads to chaos and can make them hard to root for. But for those looking for a comedy that shies away from politics and while delivering solid humor, Bros definitely works.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about comedy. How hard is it to produce a series that is intended to be universally funny? Did the creators of this series succeed?
Given the political climate in Israel and other parts of the Middle East over decades, are you surprised that Bros stays away from political content? Why?
