Unorthodox is.... an absolutely terrible show what has everyone been smoking

HELLO THIS IS A HOLOCAUST LAKE! I, THE FRIENDLY GERMAN WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THE LAKE SO YOU UNDERSTAND ITS SYMBOLISM BEFORE AN OVERDETERMINED SCENE WHERE YOU DROWN THE WIG OF YOUR OPPRESSION AND ARE BAPTIZED

It’s like watching a really long SPD/Visit Berlin soft currywurst multikulti ad with a lot of fake but happily diverse characters

Watch Shtisel! It’s also on Netflix! It also features Shira Haas who is an exceptional actress! It is a more nuanced and interesting and funny drama set in an Orthodox community! It doesn’t make me want to claw my eyes out!

AND DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, WATCH THE SWISS ‘COMEDY’: ‘Wolkenbruch’s Wondrous Journey into the arms of a shiksa’ (2018, also on Netflix) which is a trainwreck crossover of the worst bits of Unorthodox with some clueless Amélie Poulain
