Fiona H @Fifi72 Dec 24 Incredible acting by Shira, This was amazing!! Loved it! See more Nashville I. @Nshvlleindie Jul 17 Unorthodox is a pure force of drama and and a heartpounding fight, similar to the willpower from Chernobyl or Six Feet Under. It’s criminal this series had been forgotten…a dignified and fascinating look at a part of life unknown to many. Educational, harrowing, and breathtaking. See more David F 12/23/2024 Unorthodox is a terrific drama. It's been nominated for a lot of awards. It's the story of an Chasidic family in New York City, and in particular a young wife who runs away from the community to find a new life in Berlin. What I liked was the attention to detail in the portrayal of the Satnar sect, and the way that music was shown as a way of granting us all a measure of freedom. Israeli actors Shira Haas and Amit Rahav give very sympathetic portrayals of the young couple at the centre of the story (it would have been easy to show him as a cruel patriarch, but really, he's just as Iost as she is). Highly recommended. See more T B 10/12/2022 Gripping from start to finish. Shira Haas' Emmy-nominated performance is extraordinary, and that of the two male (supporting) leads is convincing and moving, playing two men torn in different ways by their devotion and their attraction towards the dark & light of the secular world. Anyone who has gone tentatively into an arranged marriage, let alone one arranged by a closed community, can relate to the choice of sacrificing the familiarity of life with loved ones on the inside, no matter how restrictive and abusive, for the terrifying, redemptive freedom and fulfillment of the 'outside'. Sometimes, it turns out, God / Love / Happiness is not in the original place we were unconditionally assured by those we trust, that we would find it.

But events itself may have been better as I didn't get invested with the stars in the show because its like someone telling you facts without knowing the reasons and inner feelings of these facts See more 05/05/2022 Riveting and enthralling! It's 03:45 and I just watched all of the miniseries in one go. The whole package is courageous, honest, beautiful, inspirational and full of hope and determination. It didn't hurt that the story is half set in my favourite city in the world - seductive Berlin. I will read the book this weekend. If you're looking for a story to fall into completely, this could well be it! See more Read all reviews
