Worth seeing:

for the complex relationship that emerges between the siblings of the central characters, rather than anything the "hot rabbi" and his gentile girlfriend get up to

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

As Season 3 begins, popular young rabbi Noah (Adam Brody) has just moved in with his non-Jewish girlfriend, Joanne (Kristen Bell), but don’t worry, she’s converting.

Under the instructions of Rabbi Eden (Sarah Silverman), Joanne and a group of fellow gentiles are learning how to become Jews – some to make their relationships less complicated, others to make it easier for them to scoop a suitable husband – others, just to find some self-fulfillment in their lives.

As Noah and Joanne’s relationship progresses, his mother Bina (Tovah Feldshuh), starts interfering in their wedding planning.

Meanwhile, Noah’s newly divorced brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Joanne’s sister – and podcast co-host – Morgan (Justine Lupe) are trying to work out where their own burgeoning friendship might end up.

WHAT’S IT LIKE?

Now that we’ve reached Season 3, much of the original point of this show – the exploration of whether a rabbi can realistically have a relationship with a non Jewish woman – has been dealt with.

Although having established that it IS possible for a rabbi to have such a relationship, it turns out that it’s only temporary, because most of Season 3 is about how Joanne is converting to Judaism. You would not think this was particularly fertile ground for humour – and you’d be right. They try hard, but nothing hits.

And with the relationship now very much heading in the right direction, the writers have to try to seek humour in more universal, everyday relationship issues – such as getting used to the idiosyncratic ways of your partner when you move in together and rows over wedding plans. Apparently, outside Jewish circles, the idea of the mother of the bride wanting a dance with her son is anathema. Really?

With the central relationship largely treading water, in both religious and secular terms, most of the drama – and humour – comes courtesy of their siblings. Watching a fragile Sasha moving on from his ex-wife and contemplating the unexpected affections of an surprisingly delicate Morgan provides most of the reasons to watch.

Relationships aside, there’s a subplot about Noah’s job, where he’s basically portrayed as being a spoilt bully, and we see almost nothing of Joanne’s podcast – although that’s a good thing. Instead, as with the relationship front, it’s Morgan who’s pushed front and centre. Perhaps the show should be renamed Nobody Wants That.
