I am reminded of this quote from Jasper Fforde's The Last Dragonslayer:None really, I don't know enough about many of them. I just wonder why folks are so obsessed with the Greek and the heretic nutcase.
Shows how much they think they know about himI suppose Westerners simply like the" enlightened" "Western" Pharaoh and the sorta-monotheist.
In this case it is a broadway show “Shtisel”. A major theme in “Shtisel” is Shalom Bayit, peace in the house between husband and wife. How do two individual humans, with differing dreams and passions, come together to build one harmonious whole? In the world of the ultra-orthodox, the solution lies in sacrifice.

What other popular movies may reflect at least the least wrong way to depict a religion?

I'm unclear about what you are asking for. You want shows that misrepresent religion or shows that represent it correctly?
Oh, another one I really loved was the Jesus of Nazareth tv series.
This was and is by far my favorite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_of_Nazareth_(TV_series) Robert Powell as Jesus did a marvelous job, imo.There were many 'Jesus of Nazareth' movies, one was better than most, as the 'heavenly voices' were 'silent' only heard by the recipient, as with Mary and the announcement by the Angel., Mary cried out in pain at Jesus' birth etc. One of the few which portrayed the humanity we all share.
Yes, the Life of Brian, for instance.In this case it is a broadway show “Shtisel”. A major theme in “Shtisel” is Shalom Bayit, peace in the house between husband and wife.

My favorite was "Shogun", btw.

Ken, here it is on YouTube:
The acting is top-shelf, and to me is was an emotional roller-coaster that really got to me but in a good way.
Really! I didn't know that.Trivia you may or may not know... Robert Powell never blinked when looking into the camera.

I have to admit that I enjoy to make fun of religious tenets sometimes. It is so easy that it is almost irresistible.You derive pleasure from attacking religion, yes?
