Review of Vinyl

Vinyl (2016)
7/10
Good show
25 May 2022
I liked this show. It looked beautiful and was for the most part well acted, apart from Jagger's kid who obviously was cast due to nepotism and is clearly out of his depth here. I know it sounds cliché, but I have never seen a better depiction of the magical and spellbinding power of music when Bobby Cannavale is at the concert in the pilot episode. Full of life and raw power. I wish I was old enough to have experienced this era for real.

In a way it's a shame it ended after only ten episodes, but honestly I can't see where this story would have gone without repeating itself. It started to drag a bit in the middle of the season. Perhaps it's good it didn't overstay its welcome so it can be remembered fondly.

The soundtrack is of course fantastic, and is playing on repeat in my earphones.
