Produced by Amy

Billy Eichner, 36,
and Julie Klausner,

the show). The
duo star as Billy

Epstein (a gay Jew)
and Julie Kessler
(a straight Jew),
who are best of friends. They are
constantly complaining, social media-
addicted, pop-culture mavens who
say awful things to and about every-
body. This may sound like a downer,
but the series is actually quite funny

"LET IT GO"

Since singing at bar mitzvahs
and weddings as a teen-
ager, Idina Menzel made her
Broadway debut in Rent in
1996, starred in Wicked and had
a recent return to Broadway
in If/Then — with a little movie
called Frozen (the highest-
grossing animated movie of
all time) in between. Called
the Barbra Streisand of her
generation by the Denver Post,
Menzel brings her tear-down-

time (I wouldn't recommend binge-
viewing, as these two characters may
be hard to take). In the pilot episode,
we find out that Billy's "perfect boy-
friend" has left him — but they meet
up at a party where the boyfriend
is wearing a yarmulke — explaining
that he is "going to shul more." Billy
trashes his ex-boyfriend's yarmulke-
wearing to Julie as soon as they are
alone. In a latter episode, Billy asks
Julie, for no reason, "Which is the
bigger turn-off, Judaica or vegan-
ism?"
People follows in the wake of two
streaming hits with a good amount
of Jewish content (Transparent on
Amazon and Orange is the New Black
on Netflix); coming this October is
Red Oaks, an Amazon series about a
mostly Jewish, New Jersey country
club.
