Because I've watched all 3 seasons of Srugim and adored it, I had great difficulty appreciating Soon by You. Srugim deals with a group of young people in Israel who are seeking not only romance but meaning in their life. Soon by You is kind of a parallel series set in New York. However, where Srugim had complicated characters, interesting situations, flawless acting, realistic dialogue, Soon by You has stereotypical characters, the majority of whom are vastly overacting apparently to be funny, and very, very thin plots. I'm sorry to write this--I was hoping for lots better. It's supposed to be a comedy but in watching 4 episodes, I did not even crack a smile. I hope the makers of this series will study Srugim and do lots better next time.
