Did you know
• 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".
