Watched the 4 episodes at the weekend. Found it a slow watch (like a lot of Netflix "originals") but glad I did indeed watch it.
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.
