100: Humans Life’s Questions. Answered

Answering questions on everything from sex to senses and age to happiness, 100: Humans Life’s Questions. Answered takes a quirky approach to social experiments. Through the season's 8 episodes, 100 humans from a variety of backgrounds and ages are tested on various theories; including the like of what makes us attractive, to the best age to be alive. We'd suggest taking the results with a pinch of salt, as we can't say that much real science is used to determine the results, but the show makes for some light entertainment nonetheless.

Unorthodox

Loosely based on Deborah Feldman's 2012 autobiography Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, Unorthodox follows the story of a Hasidic Jewish woman in Brooklyn who flees to Berlin from an arranged marriage. Leaving with little more than a passport and some cash, Etsy (Shira Haas) is taken in by a group of musicians, until her past comes calling. The moving and beautifully shot miniseries – which is primarily in Yiddish – is not only a coming of age story of a young girl, but also sheds light on the culture of the Satmar Hasidic Jewish community and its treatment of women, while still remaining respectful of the religion itself.
