One more very important comment; the Shtisel family depicted on the show is by far a dysfunctional family and represents only that. Although the writers have the personalities, language, and nuances spot on they seem to be lacking in their understanding that even for the dysfunctional Shtsels some of their actions in real life would never happenfood for thought. Maybe I give people too much credit, but I feel the majority of viewers understand this is not a documentary but a drama loosely based on a bit of reality. Additionally, there is major dysfunction among the characters in Shtiselwhich a TV show needs to have drama, but Im afraid could lead less savvy viewers to believe this much drama is commonplace.

So now we have a request. . This is a challenge when depicting insular minority communities. I would say it will.

I couldnt believe it., Age: 24 It follows the lives of the Shtisel family, Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews living in Jerusalem, and how they deal with love, loss, and modernity. Lots of love. I do however believe that with knowledge comes power and there is a lot of misinformation about Orthodox Jews and Judaism as abuse and dysfunction which have been practiced by and then covered up by groups of Orthodox Jews have become known as the people and practice itself, when hurting another human being is the exact opposite of what a Jew is supposed to do.

We then binged our way through the first two seasons and the amazing third season which was dramatically compelling but which ended on a very upbeat note. And every watcher of a soap opera knows that dysfunctionality and implausible decisions by the characters are there because its a drama plot.
