Recently, the staff of Kveller and our partner site Hey Alma gathered on Slack for a roundtable discussion about all our thoughts, feelings, and critiques of season two. The conversation was lightly edited and condensed for clarity.
Roundtable Discussion Highlights
Vanessa:
Can we talk about Bina this season, particularly how she vanished for the last four episodes?
Lior:
Maybe Tovah Feldshuh had other commitments.
Evelyn:
She said, “I will break them up,” and then disappeared completely.
Lior:
The line about “I have scissors” was confusing and never actually paid off.
Daci:
Maybe she’s hidden away somewhere, plotting.
Avital:
Also, there’s that stereotype of the meddling Jewish mom again!
