From the first episode itself, I knew it'd be awesome. I have read other reviews saying that it's too loud and crazy but that's what love does to some people. Despite how chaotic the family is, they're just so relatable. Everyone did their part really well, especially Tzvika. Love that guy!

Wonderful Series

I miss these characters. I can't believe this ended after two seasons. The acting is incredible. Noa, a model/actress is broken, losing her mother at an early age and has an absent rich father. Amos, a pita bread baker, who still lives at home with his nosy family, meets Noa when his crazy stalker girlfriend proposes to him at a restaurant in front of everyone after a 9 year relationship and he turns her down. All of the characters interact to make this a fun and sometimes heartbreaking series as Noa and Amos breakup and reconcile and people conspire to keep them apart. Rotem Sela is stunning and Avraham Alush is a hunk. These two have a beautiful onscreen chemistry. I deducted a star for the horrible, shocking ending. I re- watched the finale and stopped when they said their vows. The end said " to be continued" with a question mark, but since this was made in 2013, I doubt we'll see these wonderful characters again, which is too bad.
Good one but...

I think I set a world record for fastest time to watch all two seasons ! Every min of this show was amazing and very,very laugh out loud funny ...
Apart from being funny, It's also covered some complex topics about : jealousy, trust, revenge, and the challenges of relationships. Great characters, chemistry, perfect 1 line comments ...
Overall, absolutely a must watch show! If on all tv was as well done and whitty as this ...

Amazing

The series is truly amazing. We all know the story. But it doesn't really matter. What makes a remarkable romance is the way the story is told. The small details. The nuances. And they are all there.
The chemistry between the leading characters is great and so is the balance between romance and comedy. Another great thing is that the characters are relatable. Their mistakes, their dreams and the way that people fight so hard for someone but can put everything at risk in a moment of jealousy.
I strongly recommend this series. Like another review stated "it's a piece of gem" and I couldn't have said better.

So is there a Season 3?

Although initially unasuming, this Rom-Com turns out to be riveting!!

As others have reported, this is addicting. I watched the two seasons in two days, back to back, and I only regret there isn't another one, or more ready to go.
First, I liked the fact that it is in hebrew. Not that I speak or understand it, but it is much more authentic this way.
The writing is misleading, because we think we know what is going to happen right from the first episode, but as it turns out, we get wrong each time we thought we had it figured out.
I spent 10 years of my life in Sicily, and I have to say that the depiction of the groom's family is on point! everything show there is applicable and very close to the truth.
My favorite character is Eden/Daniela; I really bought into her undivided passion of an overachiever. Again, I did not see her coming at all either.
I think the character who is the least credible is the brother. Again, taking the Sicilian model as example, he would not have done some of what he has. Other than that, he really acted the part. To me, he was more Napolitan than Sicilian.
I am going to watch both seasons again, to absorb some of the details I most likely missed.
I am very impressed with the author, and I am really hopeful he is actively writing the next season.

Enjoyable but racial issues tough to take

The original Israeli version of the Beauty and the Baker was binge-worthy, fun, and with great acting. But some of the comments by Noa's manager made me cringe, and there other comments that highlighted prejudices between the Israeli's. I'm just starting season 2 but I do wish that the prejudices didn't play such a highlighted role. But maybe that's the point?
Amazing

Binged two seasons in just two days, this show was so addictive! I haven't ever watched show of this origin nor language before so also for that reason this was absolutely pleasant surprise.
Season 3 cannot come soon enough. After you get pass of the language barrier (and that will happen before episode 1 is over I promise) you will be sucked into a witty and well written rom-com with absolutely perfect characters. And the chemistry between Amos and Noa is so pleasing to watch. I already miss them. Watch this show you'll love it!

Good but Predictable

This Original Israeli version is just too loud. It jars your ears with the screaming and shouting all the time by the ditched girlfriend and the stupid brother.If handled better, with subtelity and grace, this would have been right up there....sadly the cacophony drowns out the plot so much that at times it becomes unbearable.Lets hope the US version is handled better
I absolutely adore this show! Madly in love with it

I will say I don't think that what I have said include spoilers but if you are anyway suggestible to a spoiler and do not enjoy them you might want to miss my post. I think that is very relevant to everything though.
I absolutely adore this show! Madly in love with it!!
I am however extremely upset season two ended at a cliffhanger and we were cheated! There are actually three seasons said to exist. The problem is no one is airing season three! Where in the world is season three?! Even if the show would've been canceled at least give us the next episode after the cliffhanger and bring some resolution! I read every Subtitle and rewound a few times so that I didn't miss any of the show. Yes I'm a slow reader but I like to digest every bit of the television show that I'm watching and I'm the same with reading too. It was worth the effort except when they cheated us out of season three! Honestly this show could've gone on for at least two more seasons! What were they thinking? Someone have any clue as to where season three is? Everything that I've read said Amazon prime has it and they don't. Amazon prime is not giving me any answers either. Just know that for two seasons if you watch this you won't be disappointed but there will be a very dramatic cliffhanger that will be shocking and upsetting because it doesn't give resolution and less you can find season three. I still recommend it though.

U.S Premiere Version

What a fabulous U.S. version premier tonight, 4/14/2020. Action and numerous story lines along with great beauty. Loved the Miami/Cubano background theme. Spanish subtitles were minimal and acceptable. I thought I heard one of the brothers say he didn't speak/understand Spanish? Was he joking (that was the only thing I didn't understand clearly, otherwise I would have rated it 10 stars?
