Has anybody watched "The Spy" with Sacha Baron Cohen?

It's a drama about Israeli spy Eli Cohen who infiltrated Syria in the 60s prior to the 1967 War. Excellent short series! Cohen is very good as a dramatic actor in this.

I’m a sucker for that period and the production is fantastic. The only problem I have so far is he still runs like Borat.
