This is a brilliant show! It is a testament to the growing number of interfaith, multicultural, and blended families in society. We are able to see how at times learning to accept what may feel different about our partner is not always comfortable. We see in the series, that it is not one's job to change their partner, unless it is their sincere choice, but to love them for who they genuinely are, as a unique separate individual with a diverse background and the numerous experiences that have shaped them. We see the Rabbi and Joanne take time to immerse themselves into the vastly different culture of one another and explore meaningful differences with acceptance and awe. In the series, we see that sometimes the Rabbi and Joanne's separate worlds including their own support network can unintentionally impose on the other partner without ill intent. Sometimes they feel like an outsider in the other person's world, yet they persevere, and the audience wants to "cheer them on" as The Post stated. The audience can feel the fragility of their relationship due to others outside opinions and judgements and the controversial nature of their relationship. Susan Katz Miller, an expert in the interfaith movement, speaks and writes about not seeing the world from one view point and the ability to explore both views with respect from partners and children in interfaith families and with their support networks. Adam and Kristin do a beautiful job portraying how their individual worlds collide together and the chemistry between both is beyond. This series challenges the conventional norm which gives way to outstanding comedy and laughter. There are some stereotypes that could be improved, especially in the current heated political climate, however, It gives hope to the audience that what may seem impossible can be possible in a relationship.
