Adapted from Deborah Feldman's best-selling memoir, this under-the-radar Netflix miniseries is the best Yiddish-language drama you'll see this year. (And one of the best in any language, according to critics.) Created by Deutschland 83's Anna Winger, the four-parter follows a young woman (a widely praised Shira Haas) who attempts to escape from her oppressive, ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community in Brooklyn to seek a more independent, secular life in Berlin—only to be pursued by her husband and his accomplice.
“This is one of the major achievements in the history of Netflix original productions. You cannot miss it.” —Robert Levin, Newsday
