Observance
Observance follows Gabby, a hard-partying secular Jew whose life takes an unexpected turn following a profound loss. As Gabby navigates the challenges of grief and identity, she embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual renewal - ultimately becoming a Ba'alat Teshuvah.
“I hope a streamer picks Observance up and orders it to series — it stands out as a much-needed contrast to Netflix’s Nobody Wants This.”
“Well-cast and well-performed.”
“Trust’s goal of humanizing Jews from all backgrounds, shedding a positive light on the Jewish experience is important. ”
“At a time when antisemitism is surging, Observance humanizes its Jewish characters and shines a positive light on them through empathy, while thoughtfully tackling its many themes. It’s the type of positive Jewish representation that we need right now.”
“At a time when observant Jewish characters feel few and far between, Observance is a show that treats its religious Jews with respect. None of them come off as a joke — and that’s a credit to creator/writer Elyssa Nicole Trust.”
