High Fidelity (2020)
Hoping for a Season 2
Pros:
Obviously, they followed the film in overall broad strokes, but the translation to series was ultimately successful. There are some nice more subtle nods to the film that you'll catch if you are paying attention that were very enjoyable. Zoe Kravitz carries the show, but she gets a ton of help from David H. Holmes who shines in the role of GBF. The soundtrack is outstanding and is a great example of using music to tell the story.
Cons:
Da'Vine Joy Randolph deserved more character development than she got. Where they left her, her character just didn't feel fleshed out enough. Also, following so closely to the film's story arc meant that everything was quite predictable. I would have appreciated some J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek style change ups in the narrative to give some freshness to the script.
Final verdict: Has shortcomings, but this is a winner in the end. Solid 7/10 and I hope we see another season.
