Book/TV Series review for "Unorthodox".

This case is definitely not the only one. What I'm talking about: a case when TV Series that is based on a book, is better than a book.
A couple of years ago I watched a TV Series "Unorthodox", and do you know what? At the end of the last episode, I cried. Then I bought a book and I thought that the book is more "calm" or "flat" except for scenes when the main character describes her period of growing like a woman.
This TV Series is based on a true story. All actions take place in the present day in New York. There are a big community of unorthodox Jewry. None of the women can use a cell phone, just men. All cell phones must be without a camera. Of course, all decisions are made by the man and the women must obey.
Esther wasn't a typical Jewish woman, but when her family chose a groom for her, she didn't stand any chance to decline this "deal". Esther and Amit had a traditional wedding where women and men celebrate separately. After that, all relatives started to pressure the "newborn" couple with a question: "Where is your first child?". It took a couple of years and tens of doctors when they became parents. All this time Esther didn't understand why she must dress close closes, why she can not study at the university, and a huge bunch of things that she can not do. She did big work to protect her interests and choose her own path.
The main actress who performed Esther did her work perfectly. I "read" all her emotions and feelings.
I don't want to tell you the end of this story because you will lose the unexpected effect if you decide to watch the TV Series. The end of the book and the TV Series are different, but I prefer the second one.

While the original sentence would work perfectly fine in a spoken context, I have abridged it to sound more formal.
