LUE: Israeli TV Show Recommendations
May. 6th, 2024 02:17 pmOne of the things I have been trying to do is enjoy Israeli media. Improve Hebrew, etc. It's been fruitful - I've found lots of stuff to enjoy. So I present to you some recommendations.
1. HaShoter HaTov. Israeli sitcom about the misadventures of First Sergeant Danny Confino (Yuval Semo) and his comrades at the Petach Tikva precinct as well as his dysfunctional family. Sadly only season one is available on Netflix, but that's where it's streaming.
2. Juda. Some TV series end before their time. (Thanks COVID-19 pandemic.) This is one of them. Sexy, stylish, clever, and innovative. A vampire show that's Jewish to its core. Both seasons streaming on Hulu.
3. Srugim. A dramedy about a quintet of late-twentysomethings in Jerusalem, all religious, looking for love and meaning in life. Smart and moving. Streaming on Amazon Prime.
4. Nevsu. A Culture Clash dom-com centering on Ethiopian Jewish Gili, his Ashkenazi Jewish wife Tamar, their daughter Ma'ayan, and their respective families. Yes, hilarity ensues, but the basis in reality for much of the cast lends it authenticity. Streaming on Netflix.
5. The Amazing Journey of Aharoni & Gidi. The only reality show on this list. Singer, actor, and all-round entertainer Gidi Gov joins celebrity chef Yisrael Aharoni on journeys around the world learning about local cultures through the food. Copious food porn, plenty of laughs, and priceless chemistry (and a sweet bromance) between the two hosts. Not streaming anywhere, sadly.
