Nir Bergman, a creator of the Israeli show that inspired HBO’s “In Treatment,” wrote and directed this quiet, potent series about a halfway house for paroled ex-convicts in Tel Aviv. (Originally broadcast in Israel in 2019, it made its American subscription-streaming debut this year.) The gifted counselor Anat (Tal Lifshitz), first seen as an idealistic intern who gets too close to a client, becomes a by-the-book administrator presiding over the closing of the house. As residents are forced back into the world prematurely, their stories play out in surprising and agonizing ways.
