ever since i saw the first three episodes at the israeli film festival in november 2008 i fell in love with the israeli tv show srugim. srugim is about israeli orthodox singles in there late 20's early 30's living in jerusalem . it is amazing to see a tv show that shows life as a single orthodox jew. though one of the characters is otd, the rest are not which is what makes this show unique. it is so cliche to chronicle someone who is otd. to chronicle someone who is frum and single and is sincere is much more of a challenge.
srugim has been shown on the jewish channel with subtitles and it is also on dvd. the only drawback of the dvds is that they are in the israeli format and not in the us format.
between friends who have cable and friends who have the dvds i have managed to see all of the first season and most of the second season of srugim.
i would love to elaborate more about the episodes, but i don't want to ruin it for you.
