Netflix's four-part Yiddish-fueled drama boasts a lovely performance by Shira Haas as a young woman fleeing her isolated Hasidic community in Brooklyn
, I found the character-driven side captivating for its specificity and for the lead performance by Israeli actress Shira Haas . But a lot of that specificity blurs in the series' thriller moments, which by their nature have to reduce a nuanced subject to an insufficiently explored binary.
As Esty finds a new home with an impeccably diverse, barely sketched-in community of musicians at a Berlin conservatory and Yanky and Moishe play Orthodox detectives in Berlin — think Shylock Holmes, I guess — we get flashbacks to the joyful then harrowing then disturbing background of her upbringing, marriage and escape.
These new friends are around to expose Esty to all manner of music, which inevitably puts her on the brink of tears, and all manner of cultural difference — Gay! Muslim! Sarcastic! — and to accept her in a way we know her religious enclave never could. They're also there to make sure Esty understands that she has chosen an ironic geographic location for her attempted liberation.
