Psyche examines religious scholarship critically, particularly how texts like the Talmud are interpreted, weaponized through misconceptions, and contested across different communities. The show treats religious interpretation as a space where truth claims, cultural bias, and deliberate distortion intersect—questioning both mainstream scholarship and popular accusations to reveal what's actually textually supported versus culturally projected.
