Mesudarim
Mesudarim (Hebrew: מסודרים, meaning "settled [for life]" in Israeli slang) is an Israeli comedy-drama series which was broadcast on Keshet, Channel 2, during 2007–2009. The series starts when four friends - Tomer Levi (Asi Cohen), Erez Klyner (Eran Zarhovich), Guy Fogel (Assaf Harel) and Sagi Berlad (Maor Cohen) - sell their gaming startup company to an American corporation for 217 million USD, and depicts how the very different childhood friends deal with their newfound wealth. Other leading actors in the show's two seasons are Dan Shapira, Nimrod Kamer and Dov Glickman.
