Schtisel

[Darklingthrush]

Is anyone watching/watched this? It's amazing. I am trying to pace myself as I am almost at the end of the available episodes but it really has me gripped. Poor Giti! She has the forbearance of a saint.

Found it! That's my Sunday sorted.

This was my favourite thing on telly last year. I was obsessed.

Akiva was beautiful and so fragile. I found his sister really challenging - so principled to the point it was detrimental to her family.

You need to watch Unorthodox on Netflix
Yes - I saw that last year and loved it.

Akiva in real life. Do yourselves a favour and look him up.
Well that's half an hour of my life I won't get back!

Thanks f anybody fancies it, Srugim is pretty good
Thanks. I'll look it up.

I'm so pleased that I'm not the only one who finds Akiva attractive! I watched Schtisel last year and developed quite a crush on him.

I've started Srugim, all the women look the same so I'm finding it hard to follow!

Oh I totally fancy Akiva. I don't know how anybody could not!

Loved it, one of the best things I've ever watched was so sad when it ended.
Kiva is beautiful, might watch again before new series comes out.

I'm trying to find Srugim but, perversely, only season 3 is available on Prime in Canada.

Srugim isn't on Prime in Italy at all!

Does anyone know what srugim means?

Yes it’s the plural of the hat, the kiffeh

Thanks @TramaDollface. Do you know if how the men and women in Srugim behave is typical of orthodox Jews? I thought they wouldn't be allowed to go out unchaperoned, but these ones seem to live together and have dates with different people every night.

I watched it a few months ago and loved it. the music, the culture the different scenery. It was fabulous.

Just wanted to recommend Srugim. It took me a few episodes to get in to but really enjoying it now.

I am in love with Rabbi Shtisel! I loved loved loved this series, I just couldn't get enough of it, so glad to hear of a 3rd series..can't wait!!

@JustDanceAddict

There’s a 3rd series coming...

Good, because it ended very suddenly, and very frustratingly!

Sorry I didn’t see your message

I think basically the shtisel crowd are ultra orthodox. Also anti Zionist!

And the Srugim dudes are much more integrated and less strict so university students and jobs all fine for women but some of the rituals around courtship are there same and all of the sabbath traditions are the same.

But I don’t know much beyond that!!
