If you've run out of new films and series to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, and you're looking for some new content from Israel, here's some good news.
A new streaming platform called "Izzy" has just made its debut, with all Israeli shows and films.
As Jessica Steinberg wrote in The Times of Israel,
“Shtisel,” “Fauda,” “The Baker and the Beauty, “When Heroes Fly” — these are some of the binge-worthy Israeli shows that have happily made it to Netflix.
There are other local shows and films that have not reached the global platform, but are worth watching. And now that content may become available on Izzy Stream Israel.
Izzy is the new media content platform created by 30-year-old Josh Hoffman, a Los Angeleno immigrant who came to Israel on Birthright, was introduced to Tel Aviv, and never left.
The for-profit platform charges $4.99 a month, and has gathered 5,000 viewers since its May 21 launch, said Hoffman. He is hoping to double that figure each month.
The streaming service currently offers more than 100 titles, including feature-length films, shorts, and documentaries. It can be accessed on your smart TV, computer, smartphone, tablet, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Chromecast, and more.
According to Izzy's promotional material, the service is like “if Netflix and Israel had a baby,”
Enjoy!

I wonder if IZZY will check the archives for old, hysterically funny, Israeli comedies. Not just "Kuni Lemel" (which were good) but Yoffe Shel Tzrot (which I still remember some 40-plus years after I saw it in a Holon theater) as an example of real Israeli funny film making.
