I just finished it, and thought it was pretty good.

Nope. What made it good?
Gentiles are obligated to fulfill the Seven Noahide Commandments because they are the eternal command of God, transmitted through Moses our teacher in the Torah. The main and best book on details of Noahide observance is "The Divine Code" by Rabbi Moshe Weiner.

My wife and I started and she felt there was a left wing agenda against religious Jews. I didn’t see it. Not yet.
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

It was surprisingly fair.... and a lot of character stories that appeared to be predictably leftist early-on, ended up being much more complex, and more supportive of the Haredi.

They barely touched on some controversial issues like military service, and anti-zionism, but it had mostly positive stories.... not to mention a lot of characters that seemed familiar.

Have heard it's good from some friends.

I haven't seen it yet.

With fair warning that not every scene is entirely modest, I highly recommend the show Fauda.  One of the best shows I've seen.

Thanks.   I was considering watching it, and I think I'll start it shortly.

I recommend choosing Hebrew language with English subtitles.  The dubbed over English is a little out of whack and if you typically watch English shows with English subtitles, then choosing english audio while also having english subtitles in this case you might get annoyed with the fact that the dubbed over English words don't match up exactly with the English subtitles.  I got sick of that pretty instantly and switched to Hebrew audio with english subtitles being much better IMO

I haven't yet watched it but was recommended but a friend who is religious and not leftist, so I might give it a try.
