Rough Diamonds (2023– )
7/10
Engaging show into the Hasidic Jews and the diamond trade
25 April 2023
The show shines mostly on the details on the life of the Hasidic Jews and their cultures and the link to the diamond trade in Amsterdam. The people who wrote the story has managed to interweave all these well into the series and the production values and details are a delightful enjoyment to know more about these two.

On the story plot - this is not something new though within the context of their faith, culture and socio-environment of that group and the business there - this was good. The addition of Noah and his links to London was in my opinion a weak point. You can see the ending coming miles ahead.

Having said that, Robbie Cleiren as Eli is a delightful talented actor - the eyes , so much can be seen from the eyes as the pressure and his weakness causes issues for himself and his family -

Lovely series in the details - at times the story plot can be frustrating but in the end it come about -
