Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 03/22/2021
Shtisel is refreshingly nonjudgmental, and that may be its best quality. Rather than emphasizing the otherness of its characters, it brings out their humanness, sometimes with comic touches. Go to Full Review Ruth Margalit The New Yorker 04/15/2019
Shtisel is generous, lighthearted, and nostalgic-even when the origins of its nostalgia remain elusive. Go to Full Review Joseph Berger New York Times 02/22/2019
The show so accurately captures the granular mores of daily Haredi life. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 08/20/2021

Amir S Mar 24 I tried to see - looks okay but not wow. See more Sally S @Sally1234 06/18/2023 Overall Best TV show. Entertaining, riveting, can't stop watching it's so good. Must watch. The actors are all phenomenal. I hope season 4 is coming soon. See more 06/22/2022 Love, love, love this show. Great acting, directing, writing. Plus it does an important job of contextualizing and humanizing a sect of people the world knows little about. See more 05/06/2022 Overall a good show! All the actors are great, but I especially love the main character Akiva. His innocence is beautifully portrayed. And also, Ruchama. She has to be one of the best actresses I've seen in a while! See more adam s @topdog1970 01/24/2022 I'm not religious. But the characters are so interesting. Great series See more 04/26/2021 Poignant, beautiful and brilliantly acted. See more Read all reviews
