Extracts from an article about the series.
The series is a story of a Haredi family living in Jerusalem’s ultra-religious Mea Shearim neighbourhood. But it’s not a story about the constrictions of Haredi life. Unlike most Israeli films and television shows with Orthodox characters, religious life is not a central tension point in the narrative. None of the characters rages against or is looking to leave his or her life circumscribed by ancient Jewish law and custom.
No detail is overlooked in fully realising the Haredi setting, but at the same time, the accurate portrayal of ultra-Orthodox home, work, school and street life is almost beside the point.
There is undoubtedly a whiff of melodrama about the series; however, it never actually devolves into a soap opera. The episodes are woven together almost as seamlessly as a full-length feature film.
