Since the program does not air on any channel in the U.S., I was forced to download it illegally on the Internet thus opening my computer up to a whole host of viral threats. But it was definitely worth it.
While I'm still forced to endanger my hard drive in order to keep current (I am now in the midst of the second season and unwilling to wait till it comes out on DVD) those of you just getting into the first should go check it out. I can't imagine a better opportunity to pick up a guy/girl- while watching a show on the Upper West Side about religious singles struggling to meet their bashert on Israel's equivalent of the Upper West. How meta of us!

This does sound hilarious, although I wonder what it says about these insular communities... in America the closest parallel would be "Big Love."
I didn't actually go tonight since I've seen all the first season eps and I had breaking practice. And I'm doing something Jewey tomorrow night anyhow- JStreet's NYC launch.
Where can I find this online? I want to endanger my hard drive too.
So, I realize that this is an old post, but I wanted to pass on to you that Srugim actually is offered on US Television - The Jewish Channel. (www.tjctv.com) It is an on demand channel that is in select areas, but NYC is widely covered. And actually, Season One is returning to the channel tomorrow. Check it out - maybe when Season 3 comes out, you won't have to put your computer at risk!
