Tale
An agnostic sex podcaster and a newly minted rabbi fall in love; find out if their relationship will survive their very different lives and interfering families. Originally titled “Shiksa,” which is also the last word in the first episode. I really liked this! Romantic comedies always follow the same formula, but this one has a lot of strengths – + I FELT the chemistry between the main characters. It seemed natural and harmonious. The characters acted so well! + The dialogue and relationships between the characters were witty, funny, and touching in the best way possible. + In a world that encourages representation, this is the first time I’ve seen a Jewish male love interest. I think it portrayed the beautiful and inclusive parts of the religion without putting it on a pedestal in any way. Great writing, a great cast, and incredible chemistry made this a must-watch for me, followed by a quick “will there be a season 2?” I loved this!
