Scenario

An agnostic sex podcaster and a newly single rabbi fall in love; they find out if their relationship survives their very different lives and meddling families. Originally titled “Shiksa” which is also the last word spoken in the first episode. I really loved this one! Rom-coms always follow the same formula, but this one has so many strong points – + I FELT the chemistry between the leads. It felt natural and harmonious. They played the characters so well! + The dialogue and relationships between the characters felt funny, witty, and touching in the best way. + In a world that promotes representation, it’s the first time I’ve seen a Jewish male love interest. I think it showed beautiful, inclusive parts of the religion without putting it on a pedestal in any way. Great writing, great cast, and amazing chemistry made this a marathon for me, followed by a quick search for “Will there be a season 2?” I loved this!
