Who's been watching this?
I've just finished episode 2 of 4 and I'm very impressed.
The lead actor is perfect in the role. Totally awkward and out of place, as her character is, everything about her screams "wrong". It's pitiful, almost painful. Quite brilliant casting, imo.
Only 4 episodes based on a true story. I recommend it.
Yes. Stunning four parter...great writing and great acting.....Quote:

Have got this on my list. Will maybe start it this weekend!
Watched it today, massively disappointing and underwhelmed, I stuck with it and watched all but not sure why to be honest.Quote:

I should have added that my wife thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t understand why I didn’t.Quote:

Obviously Unorthodox ticks more of my subconscious boxes and I'm looking forward to seeing episode 4 tomorrow. (Mrs R is currently working from home and we've got a boozy online quiz at 7pm so we can't watch it tonight).
Nothing queerer than folk eh? I genuinely think "only fools and horses" was ****. Also anything Eddie Murphy was in. Cannae help it 😕Quote:

I found myself googling the ins & outs of Hasidic Judaism. Even within the opening scenes, I had to look up what an "eruv" was.
I was completely ignorant of their existence when I walked from Williamsburg to Brooklyn a couple of years back, but the neighbourhoods there were a real eye opener.
Always thought I was fairly laid back about faith & religion but the more I read in to the stricter branches of Judaism, the more it gave me the fear.
I don't think I could live my life as pious as others do, but fair play to those who choose to and are happy with their choices.
