I thought it was so, so good. I'm on episode 3 & wondered how did her husband & friend track her down to Berlin? It kind of just jumped to them going & I must have missed it or didn't read between the lines. Idk but that left me stumped.

It kind of just jumped to them going & I must have missed it or didn't read between the lines. Idk but that left me stumped. I think it is because her community knew her mother lived there. After she called her grandmother and said she was “far away”, they figured she was in Berlin. Idk if the grandmother had the mom’s address or if they just looked her mom up. In any case, this is one of the differences between the book and the show. IRL, the woman who book is about fled to her mother who also lived in New York— she only moved to Berlin like a year later IIRC.

I was also thinking Berlin seems kind of far right off the bat like New Jersey seems feasible on a whim. Lol

My grandparents used to live in an orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn so this show brings me way back. I'm excited to finish it.

The jumping was confusing to me too.

We binged all four episodes tonight. I thought it was good. I hadn’t heard of the book before this, but I’m adding it to my to-read list. I’m hoping my library has a digital copy so I can read it soon.

Anyone who liked this, there is a show on Netflix now called Shtisel. It's in Hebrew with subtitles so you have to pay attention. I'm really enjoying it. It follows the life of a young man in Jerusalem and the actress who played Esti in Unorthodox is in it.

I need to add once I’m at my account. I hope it’s on Canadian Netflix too!
