OTOH, the Israel TV series "Shtisel" 
(https://www.netflix.com/title/81004164) (see show summary below) has a 
fair number of people speaking Yiddish to each other.

"A Haredi family living in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Jerusalem 
reckons with love, loss and the doldrums of daily life."

P.S. Bobbi (my SO) says that a lot of the English sub-titles are bad 
translations of what's being said in Hebrew... much more so, than, say the 
ones on the Israeli series "Srugim."
