16 Netflix Shows and Movies From 2020 That Are Based on Books

Netflix's first series in which Yiddish is the main language is also based loosely on a real memoir: Deborah Feldman's autobiography, Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots. Although the characters are different, the story remains the same: an ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman escapes her arranged marriage and starts a new life that she's not entirely ready for.
