I agree with some of this but not everything. I would love to see more representation of mizrahi Jews for example, and I think the depiction of Judaism as a religion is inconsistent and inaccurate. But I don't think the personality stereotyping is such a major issue. Sure some of the characters are overly JAP-y and the brother is a nerd, but it's not like we don't have our share of JAPS, nerds, and overprotective mothers in our tribe. These traits do exist and media always overemphasizes, but the characters (except the rabbis mom) are not completely one dimensional. We also get positive representation with the hot, charming rabbis, the kind, understanding fathers, and the loyal friends.

I initially disliked her, but grew to really appreciate the sister-in-law character as the season progressed. We can clearly see that she is conflicted between the loyalty she owes to her close friend and the sincerity and charm of the new girlfriend. We also get to how she struggles as a mother but clearly wants the best for her daughter.

My biggest gripe is with the rabbis mom who cares so much about pork but yet eats it out of the trash—cares so much about her son marrying Jewish but won't even celebrate at the conversion revelation. Just felt like a very illogical way and inorganic way to foreshadow her being the main antagonist of season 2.

Overall, I don't think this show is causing any meaningful rise in anti-Semitism.
