I don’t think anything specific crossed my mind when I first saw the orchestra scene because I was absorbing and processing pretty much everything about the episode all at once. Thinking back on it, I’d say my thought is similar to the thought you had. Between my brother who was involved with band, like my dad was before him, and my own brief time in band as well as being involved in theatre, I also spent a lot of time around music when I was younger, and yeah, you don’t really realize how not everyone would have the opportunity to experience music in that way. I think the moment that spoke to me the most in the first episode was when Esty first lands in Germany and just how terrified she is. Like you say, the idea of leaving everything behind and going somewhere you’re completely unfamiliar with is a very unsettling thought. I think ultimately I would have the strength and bravery to do what Esty did, though I wouldn’t want to imagine what the extreme reason as to why I would do so is. I never heard of this before, so it is because of your recommendation that I saw and thoroughly enjoyed this mini-series. I agree whole heartedly about sometimes needing to watch things that are very dramatic and/or highly emotional so you can have your heart ripped out and feel very strong emotion, and this mini-series did the trick. Flashbacks can be very hit or miss for me as well; it depends on how they’re utilized, like say for instance The Godfather Part II and The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor are examples where flashbacks are superbly utilized, as was Unorthodox. Thank you very much for this very lovely suggestion.

For what it is worth I watched the first episode and listened to your Sesscast. I was going to watch the second episode before bed. I just finished binging the rest of the series and will be tired for work today.

That happens to me every now and again. I get sucked into a show or film late at night, end up staying up all night, and when it's near the end I check my watch and say, "Can we wrap this up? I gotta get up in an hour and go to work."
