Why is this book about 1880s London Jews so relatable to the 2020s American Roman Catholic experience?

In Amy Levy's Reuben Sachs, you've got:

The community that is at once fully part of the modern world while having an insular nature (and the amount of modern vs. insular varies based on the person and family)

The people who ignore their religion 99% of the year, but wouldn't even consider skipping services on the important holidays

The ultra-traditionalists who go so intense on holding to traditions that a lot of other members of their religion side-eye them

The kids who go to services only because their parents force them to, or who rebel and refuse to go because they don't see the point or don't believe in God

The new convert who is more zealous than, like, 90% of the people who were born into this religion

A family with its very specific blend of religious opinions and inside jokes that's fully aware that they're baffling to outsiders

This book was apparently meant to be a realistic portrait of Jewish life (in response to Daniel Deronda and its (according to Levy) highly unrealistic and over-idealized portrayal of Jews), and my goodness, did she succeed in capturing what it's like to live in a culturally religious community in a rapidly secularizing world.

Jacqueline Pearce guest stars as fashion model Leonie Peters, but it could be she's mixed up in bank robbery and murder in New Scotland Yard: The Banker (1.10, LWT, 1972)

I just want to mention how obvious Dimmock is of a mirror to John.

I'm not even going to talk about how the two of them basically look like replicates of each other:

I'm also not going to talk about how Dimmock‘s attitude toward Sherlock had changed DRASTICALLY (from the annoyance of being bossed around to steadfast loyalty) by the end of the episode:

But rather there is one shot that was framed very interestingly where Sherlock is talking to Dimmock, but instead of focusing on the inspector, he was distinctly cut OUT of the frame, while John was placed directly in front of the camera, talking up half of the screen with the focus on the MIRROR reflection of Sherlock in the back talking to said inspector:

Could this shed another light on Dimmock‘s surprising reappearance in tst except for the apparent repetitive cases?

Absolutely no idea.

All screencaps taken from here.

"would you jump on a plane w ekky and go somewhere after a roadtrip?" "uhhhh i think i would actually i trust him hes my partner so i gotta trust him though"

you can see the cogs in his head turning as he decides on whether he would risk his life for his crush in a slumberparty-esque hypothetical like uhhhh i mean i should? no no yes i should yeah i would trust him yes thats what ive decided i mean i have to trust him he is my partner if i dont trust him with my life on a flying death machine in the sky how will i trust him on the ice? very extreme way to go about it but i respect it all the same

also his smile at "idk if ekkys at that lvl yet"... bunny teeth...
