The juxtaposition of hassidic Jewish life in the diamond district of Antwerp and a life of crime is something that's intriguing. This is the first series that I've watched that deals with the subject, and the creators Rotom Shamir and Yuval Yefet succeed in their vision for the film. Shamir, who's also the director, brings the story to vivid life.
It's gratifying to have a glimpse of the customs and values of ultra-Orthodox Jews outside of Jerusalem, the center of Judaism.
The drama is engaging and you sympathise with Gila's predicament as she grapples with the future. Noah is in a similar predicament and even if you have watched similar themes before, you feel their angst and helplessness.
Great acting all around. It's not over the top but subdued which makes it more memorable.
Watch this series for a good reason: for the drama, the acting, the cultural backdrop and the beautiful scenery of Antwerp. Cinematography is satisfactory, too.
