Totally entertaining, a BRAVO version of “crazy rich Asians” but about Orthodox American Jews. Light yet dramatic, the series keeps satisfying curiosity- I binge watched the entire nine episodes yesterday -on a rainy foggy summer evening. The series offers intriguing glimpses into the fashion industry, as well as a bit of insight into the underlying serious story of leaving patriarchal religious worlds. Julia’s framing as this worldly fundamentalism recognizes how many females (and males and x gender too) struggle to escape traditional fundamental religious customs and restrictions, across many of the world’s religions and sects. The critical negative reviews may well reflect who is watching. It is fun Bravo style entertainment with a interesting talented family living a 21st C contemporary life of Tik Tok, Influencers, etc.and filmed during the COVID19 pandemic . Good for the entire performers and crew.
