Unorthodox | Official Trailer | Netflix

[Steve Williams]

Saw this very short 4 part miniseries yesterday and it ws really an enjoyable albeit a sad story

There have been a handful of miniseries recently involving topics about the Jews all of which have been excellent in their own right
This one was no exception and showed a compelling story of a Hassidic 19 year old girl who is in an arranged marriage and was only able to consummate the marriage and become pregnant after one year during which she followed her desire to learn to play the piano which caused a sudden and drastic change in her life. A complex and slow moving story yet brought to a swift conclusion after 4 episodes each under an hour.

Definitely worth the look

Steve, we watched this a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it as well. While some of the story line was changed from what actually happened, the meat of the story was true.

After we watched this we watched The Spy, about Eli Cohen. That was also great, albeit very different.
