CONNECTED REVIEW ON "TIME OUT"

20 seconds after the start of Episode 1 of "Connected"
(season 2), I knew that I was watching a masterpiece. Ram Landes and Doron Tzabari created a show that's based on old-school cinematic principles yet hails from the high-tech age of camera technology that's both cheap and easy to use, and, best of all, is broadcast quality. They created a daily format that's effective, a precise and sophisticated time capsule of contemporary television exactly as it should be.
"Connected" is more real than any reality show, better paced than any documentary, provocative enough to inspire public discussion, but also deeply emotional. Unscripted and not acted, with a minimal camera crew and a brilliant editing team, "Connected" is the exact formula of emotional humanity that we seek when we turn on our TV sets, a show that allows us to see how other people live and to compare our lives to theirs. Almost without noticing, an Israeli TV phenomenon at the international standard has been born.
Comparing Season 2 of "Connected", the male version, to Season 1 of "Connected" which featured five women, is like comparing… well, men and women. Men are altogether different creatures, and the decision made by Landes and Tzabari not to cast the show with men overly connected to their inner woman, and to essentially showcase the universal male disease of a lack of communication between head and heart, is an interesting concept that creates suspense between what we see and hear as viewers, and what we know is hiding inside each of these men.
