Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 06/14/2023
While offering an insight into this guarded, little-seen community, the series also works well as a thriller. But, at its heart is the dependable dramatic staple of a powerful family in turmoil, battling to stay intact and afloat. Go to Full Review Mira Fox The Forward 08/02/2023

Rough Diamonds, created by Rotem Shamir and Yuval Yefet who worked together on the Israeli thriller Fauda, feels far more like Uncut Gems than Unorthodox. It’s full of backroom dealings with the Albanian mob and people punching each other in the face. Go to Full Review Susan Yudt Common Sense Media 05/05/2023
4/5
The performances in Rough Diamonds are outstanding all around, and the characters are complex, torn between loyalty and self-preservation in an industry they once dominated. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 04/24/2023
3.5/5
For crime drama fans looking for something distinct, this, I’d argue, is it. Perseverance through the pesky middle stretch will reward a binge-watcher with a lingering payoff that should, at least in most cases and for most people, justify the investment.

There are underlying stories about family and religion that underpins the thriller aspect, giving the stakes that Noah faces much higher than they normally would. Go to Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community 04/20/2023
7/10
Rough Diamonds is a bit lacking in its main plot as far as diamonds are concerned, but it pulls ahead in the end and keeps you engaged with interesting family drama and the specificities of telling this story with a Chassidic Jewish family at its center. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

bob c Mar 26 Too slow to catch a cold See more Ben S @TheBenMan 11/15/2023 As an Orthodox Jew that is familiar with the Hasidic community I can vouch the portrayal is quite accurate in terms of the customs of this sect, the show itself is a bit engaging though am only up to episode one. See more Jim P 07/10/2023 Fast moving, well acted, plot driven, with a window into a fascinating culture I knew nothing about. A home run! See more Mark M @Markymark333 07/08/2023 I’m shocked at the reviews on here. I did not find this so good. The dialogue is stilted and predictable. Maybe something is lost in translation, I don’t know. I gave up after 2 episodes See more Karl P 05/29/2023 The dumb displays of naivete exhibited by main characters again and again (surely the mafia will lead me right to their diamond stash!) weaken what is an otherwise compelling probe of an unraveling family at the center of Antwerp's diamond industry. See more WC H 05/21/2023 Great series. Loved it. Excellent casting and plot. Hope there will be more seasons. See more Read all reviews
