Part 4

A realistic window into the cloistered world, rites and behavior of Hasidic Judaism in Williamsburg, NY, and a woman who doesn't quite fit. Excellent acting, writing, editing, directing. Shira Haas, the lead, is phenomenal. The dramatic tension is intense as the story unfolds in both a present time and flashbacks. I highly recommend. Two thumbs up. 10 stars. If you like a nuanced, vulnerable, compassionate story, I hope you will watch.

I really do not get those who have provided poor reviews. It is an interesting twist on a religious tale that sheds, in many was, a not too serious light on the traditions and behaviours of Hasidic Jews. There is humour, sadness, emotion, empathy and joy all wrapped up in a short 4 episode drama. For sure, it is not completely resolved but why should it be. Life goes on for all of us as it rightfully does for Esty. Forget the critics an watch it even if you just want to see cultures collide!

I really don't how she played such a complex role.

Everything was believable about Esty.

I will never forget her face.

I am glad my friend recommended me this mini series. Time was not lost.
