Controversial Netflix Reality TV Series Has Social Media Weighing In

"[My Unorthodox Life] is a joke," tweeted one viewer. "Other than everything being scripted and fake, this woman married a billionaire who owned the companies she is now the CEO of. 99% of people who leave an Orthodox community like that or similar, really really struggle. This isn't it."
"So, [My Unorthodox Life] is really about nepotism when you get down to it," wrote one person. "The parallels to Succession are so obvious along with how the kids are all fighting for Julia's attention."
"Just finished binge watching the show," shared another viewer. "My take on this is that Julia should stop trying to impose her choices on her kids."
"[Boycott] [Netflix] over [My Unorthodox Life]," one person encouraged. "Can one single [Netflix] show showcase [Judaism] n a positive light? It's a beautiful religion."
"Watching [My Unorthodox Life] and whilst I'm not Jewish there are definitely parallels between Jewish and Muslim fundamentalist communities," wrote somebody else. "But I definitely think the portrayal of the Orthodox community was not balanced at all and portrayed them really negatively."
"Sick and tired at string of [Netflix] & Hollywood shows denigrating religious Jews," tweeted a viewer. "[My Unorthodox Life] is just the latest. There are so many strong, confident, inspiring Orthodox Jews, like Beatie Deutsch, Mother-of-Five & champion marathon runner. Try profiling them for a change!"
"The same people who think Keeping up with the Kardashians, the Bachelorette and Desperate Housewives resembles reality, will likely also think [My Unorthodox Life] tells a true story," wrote another person. "Ill let you in on a secret: It doesnt!"
