The only good thing about this season was that the rancid writing and the circus freakshow levels of DEI was so horrendous, that I will absolutely not miss Season 3 if it will never air.

The problem is not that this is obviously a progressive feminist suffering-porn. The problem is that about half of the actors do an absolutely abhorrent job with their deliveries. A lot of people here praise the depiction of the orthodox community in the series, which is fine, except the lighting and audio presentation in these scenes make them look like absolute cuckoo lunatics from the get go. It would've been nice to see a gradual transition, analogue to the changes going on in the head of the protagonist. By the way, the show fails to convince me that the protagonist actually went through any sort of character development. Esty starts out as an angry, hurt and anxious young woman and by the end she stays the exact same angry, hurt and anxious young woman. And to the end, a bit of a personal, political gripe. Can we PLEASE stop glorifying being grotesquely ugly? By the end of the show, Esty looks like a bowl of barfed up green pea pottage and receives multiple affirmations on how beautiful she became. Stop it. It's just as unhealthy as promoting unreasonable beauty standards.
