"Shut them down or we won't have an industry." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for the mini-series The Playlist, arriving this October. This is pretty much The Social Network but about the creation of Spotify, following other series recently about tech businesses – from Uber to WeWork. In this hyper-fictionalized account of the true story: led by Swedish tech entrepreneur Daniel Ek, a group of passionate young people come together in what seems to be the impossible task to revolutionize the music industry - and the world. They set out to create a legal streaming service for music. The series stars Edvin Endre as Daniel Ek, Ulf Stenberg as Per Sundin, Gizem Erdogan as Petra Hansson, Joel Lützow as Andreas Ehn, Christian Hillborg as Martin Lorentzon, and Janice Kamya Kavander as "Bobbie T". Also with Valter Skarsgård, Amy Deasismont, Hanna Ardéhn, Ella Rappich, Agnes Kittelsen, and Sofia Karemyr. This all looks like extremely exaggerated,...

Imagine, if you will, a month of streaming programming covering a lot of ground by tone and genre. There’s the big re-launch of The Twilight Zone under the stewardship of one Jordan Peele, and another season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has been conjured. Netflix has a Swedish court procedural revolving around a mass shooting. Comedians offering vastly different perspectives on millennial life — one’s a semi-devout Muslim, the other is a gay man living with cerebral palsy — claim their own spotlight. Plus Brie Larson gets a turn in the director’s chair.
