Dead Jews

Alex Edelman's Peer Group

Available for 194 days

American comedian Alex Edelman returns to take a comic look at what it’s like being a millennial today. The so-called Millennial generation - those born between 1982 and 1994 - has been much maligned in the press for being lazy, entitled, vain, venal, self-involved, easily offended little emperors. In the first episode series four Alex Edelman explores why Jews are still so problematic for so many. With the rise of QAnon and elected members of congress like Marjorie Taylor Greene, antisemitism has somehow crept into the mainstream, especially in America, and a lot of it still seems to go unchecked. As an observant Jew himself, he looks at all the ways his faith, and people's reaction to it, impacts his life and the ways in which society still fails to understand the issues many Jews like him have to live with. Written by Alex Edelman and Max Davis.
