charley has no motivtion.

Yes agree 100% was thinking/wondering the same thing myself.

Yeah...but I get the idea that Charley is intrigued by the danger and flattered by the attention and the fact they saw her as a highly skilled actress capable of pulling something like this off.. and she is also sort of the kind of person that likes to see herself as living on the edge. Out of the ordinary. She's curious and, initially, doesn't completely know what she's getting herself into.

Given all that she is young and becoming a deep cover agent must appeal to her own sense of importance and their carrot that her efforts might end some of the violence. Charlie is bold but pretty vulnerable beneath all the bravado. She thinks she is but she's really no match for manipulation.

I was just as much mystified as their idea of the mission itself and all the psychological components that might work better in theory than when applied.
I'm enjoying the show (2/3's done) although it all does feel a bit convoluted. But that doesn't interfere for me.

i did not know about this movie.
i don't even remember the original movie any longer except that it contained diane keaton and i remember disliking it intensely but i am not sure why.

anything that has anything to do with connecting the left with the palestinians is a cliche,
and anyone who says they are leftist and supports the palestinians is clueless about the
world. the palestinians are about as leftist as the saudis or isis.

Saying she's a young actress doesn't really tell the full story though. We learn from the British late in the series that she was already on their radar for attending the same meetings that led the Mossad to her. That's hardly your typical 20-something British actress. She lies about her father because she doesn't want a typical existence. I'd say the danger that you think should have prevented her from helping is exactly what caused her to go along with it. She was also falling for Gadi and trusted him, just like she ended up doing with Khalil at the end. Frankly I'd say she helped the Israelis because they got to her first.

I was multitasking when watching the first couple episodes and I thought she and the Swedish gal were the same character. Imagine my confusion over her recruitment.

I enjoyed the series, but I agree with you. The Israelis never offered her money. On top of that, she is playing herself. She is using her real name in interactions with the Palestinians? Is she not afraid that they will seek revenge? I expected them to move her to Australia after the mission was complete.
