Press

A comedy about a Jewish family who gather for a Shabbat meal each week could become repetitive. Thankfully, creator Robert Popper and co continue to find new ways for the Goodmans to humiliate one another and themselves. This week, Adam has won an award for composing advert music, but his celebrations are overshadowed when Jonny returns from America a married man.
