Shtisel (2013 - 2021)

One of the most popular Israeli TV series, winner of numerous national awards and a cultural phenomenon, whose rights for distribution were acquired by Netflix. It tells the story of the ultra-Orthodox Shtisel family, where everything is devoted to the altar of religion, but there is also room for love, passion, suffering, and betrayal! Akiva is an artist, a creative soul, which is not very good for a devout Jew, especially since he is unmarried. His father, Rabbi Shulem, takes it upon himself to find him a bride. Another son, Zvi Aryeh, wants to be a singer, which also disappoints the family patriarch. Only the daughter, Giti, fits the image of a "good wife," but that is until her husband runs away from her. The series offers an unexpected glimpse into life in a religious community, where faith is forced to battle with everyday human problems and vices, and where humor, the care of loved ones, and the willingness to fight for one's independence, even in small ways, can save the day.
