I've not watched Shtisel but Jane the Virgin is very very good. It could have/should have ended earlier but so so many great characters. I have the biggest girl crush on Petra.

Ah ok is it a comedy??? I loved Schitts Creek is it like that?

Jane the Virgin is a telenovela. Passionate romances, shocking villains, twists and turns and overly dramatic voice overs. It's absolutely brilliant, great characters, lots of emotion, good fun.

"overly dramatic voice overs? I'm hurt"

Shtisel is really good. Excellent characterisation, a really gentle drama that gets under your skin!

@GloomyWaters I love Schitts Creek! You will def like Jane the Virgin too.

AnyFucker · 31/03/2021 19:30

Shtisel is one of the best things I have ever watched

bonfireheart · 31/03/2021 19:31

@GloomyWaters Google "Rafael Solano" am sure that will help you decide which to watch first!

NutellaEllaElla · 31/03/2021 19:32

America Ferrera isn't in Jane the Virgin.

I LOVED it. I was so sad when it ended. It's silly but brilliant. Great light hearted relief from reality.

therestissilence · 31/03/2021 19:32

Shtisel is really good, particularly for the insight it gives into the ultra-orthodox culture. The actress who played the lead role in 'Unorthodox' is in it, so that was another pull!

bonfireheart · 31/03/2021 19:32

America Ferrera was in Ugly Betty not Jane the Virgin.

Rummikub · 31/03/2021 19:35

Shtisel is so, so, so good. The characters are completely believable.

GloomyWaters · 19/04/2021 00:11

Hi,yes it is in Hebrew and Yiddish but should have English subtitles.
