Unorthodox (2021)
#1
This show is a four episode limited series. Etsy is a wife in an ultra orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn who runs aways from home to Germany. It's a deep dive into what an Orthodox community can be like. And maybe why somebody would want to escape it. I was fortunate to have tQ with me to explain some of the nuances of the community that would have otherwise escaped me. It's a fascinating peak into a world I had never experienced. 

It's not all homogenous in the Orthodox world either. There are problems. Etsy for one. But the man looking for her to bring her back to Brooklyn seems to have a dark past as well and is trying to get back into the community. There are all sorts of tensions going on.

It's very well done, but you'd really want to explore this environment to watch this show.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
