Reboot spoke with Stav Idisis about her show, Bloody Murray, a light-hearted, witty take on the romantic comedy that has become a huge hit in Israel and is now streaming in America on ChaiFlicks. The series follows Murray, a cynical film lecturer in her mid-30s who teaches romantic comedies but cannot quite make romance work in her own life. When her best friend and roommate Dana falls for a man Murray accidentally hit with her car and flees, Murray slowly convinces herself that he may actually be meant for her. It is a sharp, funny, contemporary comedy about friendship, work, romance, family pressure and the gap between the lives people imagine for themselves and the lives they actually end up living.
