Kid Sister: What a masterfully funny and refreshing television series.
Created and written by Simone Nathan, who also brilliantly portrayed the lead role of ‘Lulu’ in the series; ‘Kid Sister’ is the kind of comedy I love to watch.
Lulu is a young woman living with her family, who are all strongly connected to a small Jewish community in New Zealand. We soon discover the dilemma she faces between tradition and modern life issues and the drama and comedy of navigating relationships along the way.
There were such strong performances across the entire cast, with each actor portraying their characters honestly but with so much comedic heart.
The comedy was tied in with a strong focus on Jewish traditions. For people like myself who have extensive Jewish ancestry but who are not actually Jewish ourselves, this really kept me captivated not only by the human stories but also by all of the Jewish traditions highlighted. Let’s just say I learned a lot!
The overall storyline was somewhat predictable, but Nathan made the show her own by focusing strongly on Jewish traditions and family values. That, alongside the tremendously witty humour and powerful writing created a unique and enjoyable series.
Having Lulu’s inner thoughts pop in at times as a voiceover truly lent to strengthening the show’s comedic aspect.
Like all good binge-worthy shows, I was left hanging on for each new episode. It is the kind of show that makes you want to keep watching and learn more about each character and their lives outside of the main storyline.
‘Kid Sister’ really is a brilliant television series. Look no further if you are looking for a comedy that will entertain and keep you engaged. I would watch more of this in a heartbeat.
