What is the MLS?
Oh, it's Marie DeSalle but putting "the" in front is what really confused me.

Episode five was maybe the best yet.
Just finished the season. Can't wait for the next one.
I miss Iben Hjejle...
Two things:
1) Episode eight didn't quite work for me. I appreciate the effort, but I'm not the biggest fan of shows giving entire episodes to non-leads.
2) I really, really like the Simon character and the actor who plays him, but for a gay character it's almost distracting how *not* gay the character comes across. I'm definitely not implying that all gay characters need to fit a certain mold, and I get that the show is likely aiming to make a point that his sexuality doesn't define him. But if so, that's an odd choice considering all the other gay characters in the episode were over-the-top-cliche gay. No big deal, just a random observation.
Anyway, still loving the show, but am saving the final two episodes for tomorrow night. I simultaneously can't wait but also don't want it to end.

I'm with you on #1. I like him as a secondary character but not enough to be the focus of an episode.
Finally finished the season. Fantastic ending, especially with Cherise.
Surely, with all the positive buzz, name recognition, and talent involved, this gets picked up for a second season, as I could easily watch five more seasons.
What a great show and a great start to TV in 2020.

Below is an extremely well-written review from an author who really likes the show, but has a small quibble with Rob & co - characters in their late-20s/early 30s - having a taste for older rock over modern hip-hop/rap. I do admit that, going into this iteration of the story, I was expecting way more of a modern, hip-hop/rap bent, but was pleasantly surprised by the musical choices, as I'm definitely more of a fan of rock/soul over hip-hop in general. That, and hip-hop played on physical records are two things I don't really associate as going to together (or even existing prominently). One one hand, I totally get where the writer's coming from, but on the other hand, Rob absolutely comes across as someone who's genuinely into the music she's into. I just can't tell if, in this day and age, it's believable or not, and if the fact that the actress playing Rob being the daughter of a rock god (as opposed to hip hop), who also happens to be a person of color, is subconsciously swaying my opinion as well...

I was looking at a High Fidelity playlist on Spotify and was reminded that one of my favorite Frank Zappa songs "Bobby Brown Goes Down" was used in an episode.
That writer sounds like someone that's never purchased a record before. Or had a parent or older sibling influence their musical taste.
silly review.
For all the talk about fluid gender roles, she goes to great lengths to explain why women can't/don't act a certain way.
Also, the fact that a lot of people aren't into their current generations music and seek out classics from the past is about as old as pop music itself.

Exactly. Someone of that age, no matter the gender, that owns a record store isn't likely to only know & listen to current music. I would expect them to have a deep knowledge and love of older stuff.
The Cherise ending. **** man, I LOVED that. I love how she handled it. Awesome.
So good.
I loved it too. Supposedly it's on the soundtrack. Didn't see it on Spotify last I checked.
EDIT: Nevermind. I found the soundtrack and it is the last song.

Didn't even realize that was Parker Posey but I loved that episode. I knew Rob would never take that deal even if she had a way to get all those records to her store.
Damnit episode 5 was my favorite too partly because it was so original and now seeing that clip for the first time I like the movie version better
Really? Interesting. I thought the show version was 100x better. I get exactly why they cut the movie version.
It would have been great for Cusack to track down the husband in a bar if they had time but in the pacing of the movie it wouldn't have worked.
I believe in the show it was presented as she was selling the records without telling him at all where in the movie version the husband told her to sell them and send him the money. Plus it was the entire collection in the show not just the box of singles. It was obvious in the show immediately that she wouldn't take them.

Got my tickets last night.
Wow, what the hell? I thought it was a pretty solid hit for Hulu.
That sucks. I was really skeptical of it but gave it a shot after your praise. I ended up really enjoying it... what a bummer.

Yeah, I don't get it. It got great reviews and Hulu seemed happy with it. Sounded like it did enough to earn a second season, but I guess not.
Wife and I tried to watch this last night. We really love the film, so we couldn't get through the first episode as it took too much from it. Also, Zoe's "watch me pretend to drink coffee" was distracting. I am officially old and crotchety.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.
