Director Dikla Barkai says a large part of the show’s appeal is that is does not try to impose an outsider’s perspective on the characters, but concerns itself with ‘very human stories’

TV review: Shtisel (Jewish Chronicle)
The Netflix show about a Haredi family in Jerusalem is back - and it's as good as ever, says John Nathan

Netflix’s apolitical ‘Shtisel’ faces a new test: The clout of Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (LA Times)
Director Dikla Barkai says the show does not ‘deal with political and societal conflicts. The series deals a lot with the characters themselves and the worlds they live in, but the stories are very human stories’

Long-awaited ‘Shtisel’ season 3 brings more faith, grief, family to its global fan base (Jewish Weekly)
