Julia Haart exchanged the teachings of the Torah for the gospel of money, pleasure, and sex. rkgar writes
Photo: Netflix Do glamour and high fashion bring freedom? Is wealth the antidote to a sheltered religious existence? For Julia Haart, matriarch of My Unorthodox Life, the answer seems to be a simple and resounding YES. But if you peel back some of its layers, the series actually suggests more complicated answers to these questions.
I consumed My Unorthodox Life in nearly one gulp, hypnotized by the Haart family — refugees from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community of Monsey, New York, who emigrate to Manhattan for a life of utter fabulosity. The luxury and visual pleasure are off the charts. In MUL, good-looking people frolic in delectable settings: a sky-high Tribeca penthouse, Paris couture shows, private helicopters, and even an actual medieval French castle — which the gang uses as an AirBNB.
And in fact, the characters are mainly played as “stock” here — static types with one-note plot lines, rather than fully delineated humans. Younger daughter Miriam seems committed to being Julia’s mini-me — an adventure-seeking, hot-pants-wearing provocatrice — French-kissing her girlfriend in full view of her mother’s business associates.
