Maybe it won't work for you as it does stay with outsized Jewish stereotypes and and an over-stylized '50s visual. IMHO, both are done tongue-in-cheek or with a wink as if to say, this isn't how it really was, but is an intentionally exaggerated style. Even as the story and characters grow in depth and nuance - and, IMHO, become interesting and engaging - the over stylizing and over stereotyping doesn't go away.
One thing that I've learned is that as far as (Jewish) over-stylizing goes, there are plenty of people who fit the mold to the letter.
I think that's true in any faith. I know it was true in my experience with Catholicism. It may appear different, but the same elements are there. People are people.One thing that I've learned is that as far as (Jewish) over-stylizing goes, there are plenty of people who fit the mold to the letter.

I wholeheartedly agree! This was another fantastic season of Black Mirror! These Hollywood hacks peddling their diluted excuses for sci-fi, which are really no more than silly action sequences set in space, should take a good hard look at this series. This is science fiction. As fans of the original Trek the wife and I loved the episode USS Callister. The other episodes were excellent and in keeping with Black Mirror's themes of mankind's interaction and dependence of technology. This is must see tv."Black Mirror" - The latest season is a monster. This series of so good that it's right up there with it's forebears Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits. The first episode of the latest season is a corker. Can't recommend it any higher.

Watched a couple of "Twilight Zone" episodes with my mother, which is never a good idea. "Whoozis guy? What'd he say? Why's he doin' that? Who's she with again? What's that all about? This don't make any sense!" and so on into the night.
One of the episodes, "The Self-Improvement of Salvatore Ross," was done much better several years later by the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre.
