Critics' reviews

"[It] brings forth an insightful, important memoir of a Jewish woman escaping her Hasidic community in Williamsburg, New York.(…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"

Daniel Hart: Ready Steady Cut
"[It] is a testament to the tough journey that awaits anyone who can’t abide the only world they know but lacks the tools to thrive outside its invisible gates."

Judy Berman: Time
"[It] shares the intensity, cultural specificity and psychological acuity of Winger’s earlier series (...) A thrilling and probing story of one woman’s personal defection."

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
"I found the character-driven side captivating for its specificity and for the lead performance by Israeli actress Shira Haas (Shtisel). But a lot of that specificity blurs in the series' thriller moments"

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"A gripping and carefully constructed four-part Netflix drama (...) A viewer is instantly worried for Esty"

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
Aa suspenseful slow burn without much of a climax (...) The series’ strength lies instead in its captivating subject and how it draws viewers into Esty’s world. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Tess Cagle: The Daily Dot
"We wish 'Unorthodox' didn’t have the menacing specter of Esty’s estranged husband (more accurately, his family) interfering with her story of discovery, but the story is well-told despite the thriller aspect."

Joel Keller: Decider
