Vinyl (2016)

An unhinged record boss.
Sex and drugs.
Crime.
Music.
Mafia conditions.
Heavy turmoil in the company.
Relationship problems.
Violence.
The quest to save a company.
Work your way up in a company.

It's a bit of anything and everything, without being able to make a choice.
Vinyl takes too much on the fork, and thus misses its target: to fascinate and be carried away, to experience the 70's atmosphere.
Perhaps what sticks with me the most is that this can be seen as a huge indictment of drug use.

Some good actors, some less good ones. Cannavale is good, Romano is very good, that guy has a wonderful voice.

And the music,... is okay, but still quite a lot, too much, emphasis on a few unknown songs that the record company - and therefore the series - had to push up.

Perhaps I started with far too high expectations... In any case, I largely find myself in what [user=951]ZAP![/user] here writes.

Even though it is difficult to draw a comparison, I enjoyed The Boat That Rocked much more.

This very expensive HBO series from producers Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger did not become a success, but in this case that says nothing about the quality. Vinyl is a very fine television series, full of colorful characters, very funny dialogues and first-class music. And what a beautiful time frame, great. No expense has been spared to make something beautiful out of this. It's a shame that the plug was pulled after ten episodes. But ten beautiful episodes.
