However, we recommend that you start with Rough Diamonds, as this new release is an exciting watch from start to finish. Additionally, the 2023 title is already making its way to subscribers’ top 10 list, so if you needed an extra push, we hope the favorable reviews will do just that!

Hopefully, you’re more than ready to head to Netflix to stream every episode of the series. But before you do that, allow us to tell you everything you need to know about Rough Diamonds!

Rough Diamonds tells the story of Noah Wolfson, a man determined to uncover how exactly his family wound up with a boatload of debt, as well as whether it was the debt that drove his brother to commit suicide. Doing this is easier said than done, however, as Noah’s family is extremely dysfunctional and barely trusts one another. Nevertheless, Noah must do what he can to find peace in a sea of chaos, no matter what it takes.

Read more on the synopsis (via Netflix Media Center):

"Rough Diamonds is an 8-part crime drama that follows the struggles and strife of the Wolfsons, a prominent ultra-Orthodox Jewish family within Antwerp’s world-famous diamond industry. When their youngest son takes his own life, his long-estranged brother Noah – who turned his back on his religion and made a new home within the criminal fraternity of London – returns to Antwerp and finds out that the family business is on the brink of collapse and under the heel of the local mob. While Noah desperately attempts to save the Wolfsons’ business and protect the family’s legacy and honor, he and his siblings must first settle their own internal battles."

Will Noah ever uncover the truth behind his brother’s sudden death? Will he bear the responsibility of ridding his family of debt? All this and more will be answered soon enough!
