Ayelet Zurer and Gal Toren in "Losing Alice," premiering globally on Apple TV+ on January 22. A few months after the debut of Tehran, an above-average suspense thriller from Israel, Apple TV+ goes back to that same country again with Losing Alice. It's a show very different from most of what's been on Apple TV+ to date, with film noir and erotic thriller genre trappings rarely seen on any kind of U.S. screens these days. Losing Aliceis an Israeli show. But it's a show about Israel that doesn't touch on politics, the Israeli-Arab conflict, or anything else controversial. Nor is it about spies, which is the subject matter of so many Israeli shows that find popularity in the U.S. Instead, it's a twisty thriller set in Israel's showbiz industry, on that Apple has called "a love letter to the still-too-rare female director."
