Alicia I love this movie so much

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

mymangodfrey It's painful to imagine how good this show would have been if the creators had cast, in the lead role, someone with the charisma and intelligence of Rachel Brosnahan or Anna Kendrick, the goofy charm of Carole Lombard, Teri Garr, Rosie Perez, or a young Renee Zellweger, or the grit of Lili Taylor, Jennifer Carpenter, Lizzy Caplan, or Parker Posey. In other words, the Ginger Rogers/Lucille Ball role should have gone either to a comic actress, to an endearing everywoman, or to a one-off force of nature like Isabella Rossellini - certainly not to a glassy-eyed mannequin.Kirke has one facial expression, which sometimes reads as confusion, sometimes as self-pity, and sometimes as contempt. She's impossible to relate to, even harder to root for, and no fun to watch. To enjoy the show, we have to be able to pull for her, but the character as written is frustratingly weak, and the actress is off-putting. Kirke's empty performance in Gemini is indistinguishable from what she does here; she has the kind of face that probably tests well in focus groups, but she's just not an actor.With a stronger performer at the center of the show, it would never have been cancelled in its fourth season; the premise is fresh, the production values are superb, and the supporting cast is wonderful.

philipryburn The first few episodes of this show were light and funny. It was a refreshing show, and Rodrigo is an enjoyable character and I learned much about music. By the 3rd season, every other character is hooking up for meaningless flings and the show becomes less about music and culture, and more about sexual promiscuity. Wouldn't recommend wasting your time on it.

wwiiboomer Sometimes a good story reminds you of who you want to be. If your into music as I am (mostly all genre) ... but cannot keep a beat, nor hold a note ... watching is the best and closes thing. It's disconcerting when you're in the shower singing and your wife shouts why are you crying?! This show is funny bordering crazy, perhaps zany. Yet, the anecdotal musical pieces lend to its fundamental basis for a wonderful entertainment. Last but not least, the cast and guests are simply astounding. Brilliant or precocious ...?This award winning show has evolved into a musical symposium. It has become a banquet for profound artists and/or actors that deliberately or pretentiously display their musical abilities and/or accomplishments.If there is anything to complain--it would be that it's to short for a 20(+) minute episode. If any, the season should be extended to more episodes. Other than that, keep featuring the talented guests that display their artistic talents! Finally, bravo to the producers, and the maniacal director(s), and screen writer(s) ...!

thebricks I have never been part of a professional orchestra, I never was good at band, and I know this show is not realistic. I'm pretty sure that someone that's good enough to be considered for the NYC Symphony is probably going to get solid offers elsewhere. They're not going to stick around and be an assistant and keep being jerked around like Hailey. I'm pretty sure that if you're good enough for the orchestra, you probably were recruited and on the radar of several groups. You're going to play for smaller symphonies until NYC comes calling again. She's old enough to know when you're being jerked around. Some people get a kick out of it, and that's what's happening to her with the Maestro.The lengths to which the show goes to make these highly accomplished NYC symphony members sympathetic is pretty far. We all know members like them would be insufferable and pompous. They wouldn't act like they're on Seinfeld and be so self-deprecating and flawed.
