My Unorthodox Life

Most of the hate is coming from people in the community she left.

It's sad that they don't want her to tell her story.

The show itself: Similar to other reality TV shows like the Kardashians (which I haven't really watched). It feels heavily scripted. If you don't like those other shows I doubt you'll like this.

I come from an Orthodox Jewish background and watched it because her background intrigued me. It's far from a must watch but I found it entertaining.

In terms of TV quality I'd actually rate it much lower than a 6. But I support her transition and hate all the people trying to shut her down. She has the right to tell her story and people need to stop calling her liar and denying her own experiences due to their own insecurities.

I admire Julias story but the conflicts are obviously planted and the conversations feel so scripted. I guess that's how tv is even if it's "real life".

The whole show I just bad for Robert because people were constantly violating his boundaries. First Julia not respecting him when he said he didn't want to date at this time. He stood his ground but Julia wouldn't drop it. And then his family gaslighting him for trying to find out more about his birth person. I hope that has changed foe him since.

Ok so it's not a 10 but I want to bump up the rating because I'm 5 episodes in and actually love it. It's like watching the start of the new kardashians. It's kind of dated and awkward but I literally can't look away, I just want to watch more and more.

Also one thing I do love is how much of an advocate Julia Haart comes across for women and women in business! She's a boss and also seems so genuinely lovely.

If you love reality tv then go for it!!!!

This reality show has very little "real". Everything looks planned and staged (the cameraman in the bedroom filming one of Julia's daughters in bed having sex - or make it look like it - with her boyfriend: really?! Not to mention the dialogue). Lots of money but little good taste in both style and behaviour. Julia wants to rule everyone's life; she has a God complex. Silvio, Robert and Ben are the only characters that inspire sympathy.

I am writing things only to help out with the bad ratings, that apparently come from people that are very religious or can't deal with this type of women.

I find the main message of this reality amazing: You can re-do your life and have a fresh start at any stage, at any time, no matter what. If that is not inspirational, I don't know what is. Get a grip, people!
