If you've had anything to do with Orthodox Jews or are just curious about their culture in Israel, this is a great show that combines comedy with poignant social commentary. It not only deals with orthodox vs. Secular Jews, but Ashkenazi vs. Sephardic Jews and special challenges faced by Orthodox Jewish women. Well written, beautifully acted and populated by characters you will care about. Every bit as good as Shtisel, if not better. Anyone who went to an Orthodox Yeshiva or dealt with the internal social politics among the religious and non-religious in Israel will love it. And the second season is even better than the first.
