‘Off Road’ on Netflix: Two Stars, One Epic Journey - The Docuseries You Didn’t Know You Needed

Netflix is no stranger to globe-trotting dramas, but this time the passport is real, the stars are unfiltered, and the terrain is not a CGI backdrop. In a landscape crowded with true crime and glossy food tours, a new series takes the off-ramp, literally. With two familiar faces in the front seat and emotional mileage built in, Off Road steers into something refreshingly raw, a mission statement disguised as a title.
While most road trips chase views, this one uncovers truths, friendship, and a few emotional potholes along the way. Here is everything you need to know about Off Road.
Two hearts, one camera, zero acting required

Lior Raz and Rotem Sela are not playing characters here; they are the characters. He, the gritty Fauda lead. She, the silver screen’s favorite breeze. Together, they swap scripts for spontaneity, trading explosions for emotion as they drive across Central Asia. Netflix does not bother padding the cast list, and rightly so. When real chemistry meets real roads, you do not need a supporting crew, just a camera and a spark.
While most shows chase big ensemble chaos, Off Road goes intimate, because two stars and one honest road trip can sometimes say more than ten scripted arcs.
No guidebooks, just gut feelings: when the journey becomes the story
Think of it as a buddy comedy rewritten by soul-searchers. With no script and no stunts, Lior Raz and Rotem Sela’s road trip becomes a moving meditation on identity, culture, and connection. They navigate bumpy roads and bumpier conversations, trading tourist checklists for unpredictable human encounters. From shared tea with strangers to lost-in-translation laughs, it is less about destinations and more about detours, emotional and literal. Spoiler alert: the route is scenic, but the heart hits harder.
When emotions detour and headlights blur with heartache, one burning question remains in every fan’s rearview: when will it finally drop on Netflix?
