Rough Diamonds (2023)
Original, fascinating crime drama with insight into a little known world
This was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time! I don't watch a lot of foreign television and once I turned the dubbing off so I could appreciate the incredible acting to its full extent, I hardly even noticed I was reading it. The characters have depth and are interesting, the story is compelling and the end leaves you wanting more - SEASON 2!!!
The insight the show provides into the Hasidic Jewish culture adds to the intrigue and engages an audience on a deeper level than many of today's shoot-em-up Bond meets John Wick shows... This has a sense of realism I've missed in a lot of contemporary TV that leaves me longing for more...
I was especially impressed by young Casper Knopf, whose emotional scenes in the latter episodes are heart-wrenching and powerful. He's a spectacular actor and I hope we'll see more of him in the next season!
