"TV at its best." - Yediot Aharonot

"The best Israeli series of the year... powerful direction, accurate script, brilliant acting...sharp, reliable and convincing drama" - Ha'aretz

Come and binge-watch the best Israeli TV thriller since Fauda! From the people who brought you In Treatment, the critically-acclaimed Asylum City is set in the underworld of refugees and asylum seekers, where police officer Anat Sitton (Hani Furstenberg) investigates the murder of a young social activist. In the process, she unravels a complex world of corrupt politicians, organized crime and illegal arms deals, putting her in the centre of a dangerous and parallel universe with its own codes and morals. Based on a best-selling novel.
