If the writers and producers of this decidedly anti-Semitic program, "Men in Black" intentionally wished to denigrate the religious Jewish community, congratulations, you succeeded. The only things you left out were fictitious "blood libel" and accusations of "deicide" which has slandered and caused persecution of the Jewish people for centuries.
This show was an outrage. The fact that the writers. producers, and some actors were "Jewish" themselves makes it no less so.
To set the record straight: The religious Jewish community has the utmost respect for women and would never speak to a Christian and refer to her as a "schickser." Nor would the Ultra religious act in a hostile manner to the police as depicted in the show. Do they commit crimes like any other group? Absolutely. But certainly no more than most.
I've always lauded the good Catholic values presented on this show. However, in all fairness it should not have been accentuated on the backs of the Jewish people. I would equally object to a show about child pedophiles so seemingly rampant within the Catholic Priesthood.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
I like Danny's partner lot more than the previous one.. hope she sticks around.

I thought this episode was awful because Henry was in the episode for more than 10 seconds. I can't stand him, he's a horrible actor.
