Die Telefonistinnen

I really like the series, I like how it develops, the way each girl has a different personality and that it is woven into an interesting tapestry, the technological reality presented in the film and of course, the setting. It depicts the 1920s amazingly well. That is until they play any music.

It completely destroys the mood. While I could ordinary like some of the pieces, seeing them in this setting destroys both, the music and the amazing production. Why? it seems as if a teenager was put in charge of the music while adults did the rest. It's not that there wasn't amazing music at that time!, and it is not as if new groups could compose music following the 20s style!

The actors, the plot, costumes, everything aligned for this series. I simply did not rate it higher due to the poor selection of music. Music can create a feeling and atmosphere, and as a period piece, the choice of modern pop lullabies really killed the vibe for me. Especially in dance room scenes that should have great music from the era. That was disappointing, everything else is A+

The first two seasons really pull you in; the settings, the friendship, the love triangle. 3rd and 4rth are like a cheap soap opera without any creativeness or rationality. Have kept watching it only because I want to see how the love story ends but if it isn't renewed for another season, I won't miss it

I really like the series, good composition, costumes and everything. But what is wrong with the music? It's the 1920's not 2010. That is probably the one thing that is really bugging me. Anyway, I recommend this series if you like drama. It reminds me a bit of the series ''Velvet''.

I would love to lose myself in the Cable Girls series but am jerked out of their reality by the musical scoring of contemporary music. I mute the most egregious bits with synthesizer and electric guitar and just read the subtitles. What a shame - otherwise the show is fun with good sets and costumes.
