Unorthodox netflix

[Panicking40609]

Did anyone watch this? I’ve watched it a few times (I do a lot of rewatching programs as a coping mechanism as I know what’s coming).

Lots of things went over my head at first, like why Esty couldn’t take a plastic bag with her in the beginning etc but it made me google and learn a lot.

The actress who plays Esty was also in Zookeepers wife. She’s so beautifully captivating

I stopped it to do some google research several times. I thought it was excellent. For me, a fascinating insight into a culture I know very little about.

Yes, it was good wasn't it? The dynamic between her and her husband was really well acted I thought. The hope, then the bewildering hopelessness.

I really enjoyed it, super interesting and yeah had me googling stuff

If you liked Unorthodox, try Schtisel, which is also on Netflix.

I've not seen it but I've heard great things about it! Definitely need to give it a go

Fantastic, wasn't it? Such an eye-opener.

The book was way better. I highly recommend reading it!
I found the show itself a bit ‘lite’ but good.
OP you’d probably like Shtisel (I absolutely loved this series and can’t wait for the next season).

Oh and Shira Haas is in Shtisel as well.

I enjoyed it. And I have just got the book too on kindle.

I thought it was brilliant. will look out for the book

I love Shtisel, it's a great show.

I loved it, and Schtisel has been on my list for a while, but never started it. It's because I need to watch properly to read the subtitles.

I really really enjoyed it. I'll try check out Shtisel too!

I loved unorthodox and went on to do a lot of googling, and ended up watching a documentary about the hassidic Jews in Manchester. I think it was called Strictly Kosher. That was really interesting too.

I loved it and ended up watching Strictly Kosher, a documentary about Manchester's hasidic Jew community. It was fascinating.

Fantastic series

I thought it was great too. Another vote for schtsel too.

I really enjoyed it, was one of my favourites last year. I watched One of us afterwards which was interesting.

The eruv was down so she couldn’t go out carrying a bag. One of the many (strange to us) rules they had to abide by.
