Aaron Altaras Three Times

.
I had expected upon its beginning that this post was only going to be me giving the stylist on this photo-shoot some of those so-called "mad props" for styling Aaron here -- who we fell hard for thanks to the gay soccer romance Mario a couple of years back -- to look like all the boys I had crushes on in mid to late 90s alternative music videos -- this look is pushing some buttons. But then I saw that Aaron has a brand new show on Netflix, one that actually looks real good, and I figured I oughta touch on that as well. But first...

... one more picture. (You really wanna see this post though.) Okay onto the show. It's called Unorthodox and it's actually a four episode limited series not a "show" but such meanings, they're meaningless now. Unorthodox tells the story of an Orthodox Jewish woman who escapes from her ultra-conservative Brooklyn family and arranged marriage to Berlin where she tries to find herself; I guess it's based on a true story. Aaron, who gets a few "hey look at this cute boy" shots in the trailer, appears to be, well, a cute boy she meets in Berlin. Here's that trailer:

It's very Disobediance minus the lesbianism. The show's been on Netflix for a few days now so maybe one or more of you have watched it already and would like to share a thought or seven in the comments? Anyway I have every intention to binge it as soon as possible, that trailer alone made me cry, so perhaps I'll come back and say more depending on how moved I am. Speaking of something moving me, here's one more picture of Aaron for the road...
