Mista’arvim believes it had killed The Panther more than a
year prior to the show starting but, as with all good thrillers, not
everything is as it seems, and all sorts of twists and turns follow.

Fans of fictional characters such as Brad Thor’s Scott Harvath
or Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon might enjoy “Fauda.”
“Schitt’s Creek” (Netflix, Hulu)
A classic fish-out-of-water tale, “Schitt’s Creek” details the life
of the Rose family, a once-wealthy family forced to relocate to a
hick town called Schitt’s Creek they once bought as a joke.

Humor abounds as the Roses adapt to living in a cheap
motel with town residents as quirky as they are. Having always-
entertaining SCTVs alums Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara
as stars certainly helps and the rest of the cast, including
Chris Elliott, shines.

Although the Roses are Jewish, that isn’t a focal point of the
six seasons; however, show creators Levy and his son Dan, who
also stars in the show, are Jewish and viewers will pick up on
subtle Jewish elements.

Note: The first five seasons of the show are on Netflix, but the
recently completed final season won’t be on the platform until
the fall.

“The Plot Against America”
HBO “I’ve been a member for several years. It is warm,
welcoming , and beautiful - whatever your level,
a great place to play, and enjoy.” - LARRY KANE
“The Plot Against America” (HBO)
Phillip Roth’s acclaimed novel of the same name seemed
like a perfect candidate for movie or miniseries treatment, and
this six-part HBO offering delivered, providing appointment
television during the pandemic’s early days.

“The Plot Against America” prevents an alternative
universe in 1940, with aviation hero (and rabid xenophobe)
Charles Lindberg defeating Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the
presidency, hurtling the nation onto a much more fascist path.

As you might expect, the nation’s Jews feel the resulting
impact, with the action presented via a working-class Jewish
family in Newark.

Excellent character actors, including Winona Ryder, David
Krumholtz and John Turturro, to name a few, raise the overall
quality of “The Plot Against America.”
Honorable mention: “The Goldbergs” (ABC), “Hunters”
(Amazon Prime), “The Spy” (Netflix) and “Broad City”
(Amazon Prime). l
