Throughout the series, Israel is depicted as washed-out and grey whereas the locations where Cohen works as Kamel Thaabeth are brightly colored. Red and yellow items are occasionally highlighted within the portrayed greyness of Israel, as they are the colors of danger and caution, respectively.
When he was first setting himself up as a 'Syrian businessman' in 1961, Eli Cohen briefly lived at 375 Lavalle (bet. 25 de Mayo & Reconquista) in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires. Today the apartment complex remains almost unchanged.
Sacha Baron Cohen is 6'3" tall compared to Eli Cohen's diminutive 5'6".
(2019) Eli Cohen's daughter Sofia Ben-Dor (59), a psychologist, has said that she and her mother Nadia were particularly upset at the way Eli was portrayed as a ladies' man who hosted sex parties for Syria's top brass, affirming that he was not a womanizer, but a very modest and conservative man in the way he conducted his day-to-day life.
If the pre-credits time-capsule sequence evokes the intro to Homeland (2011), it's most likely due to the fact that both series are the product of the same writer, director and creator, Gideon Raff and his team. This sequence is splashed with stills pertinent to the time period 1960-1965 including: Golda Meir, Nelson Mandela, Elvis Presley, Lyndon B. Johnson, Alfred Hitchcock, John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Charles de Gaulle, Yuri Gagarin, Adolf Eichmann, Fidel Castro, Lee Harvey Oswald, Leonid Brezhnev, Richard Nixon, Nikita Khrushchev, Ella Fitzgerald, Jacqueline Kennedy, John Connally, etc.
