This was a fun family drama, although a little heavy handed at times about "money destroys you" - I don't think it needed to be explicitly said so often - but I enjoyed it overall!  I found the through line of the dybbuk to be quite interesting, an aspect of Jewish culture I'm not familiar with but the author does a good job of showing how a religious myth can really affect you (something I see in Christianity but I'm not familiar with in other religions).
