The Eddy

Just a short review to say how much I enjoyed the intimacy created by the series - small vignettes of each character that you really care about - wonderfully realistic acting peaked by drama..

This series is much grittier than anything I would typically watch, however the individual characters are quite compelling and the music is absolutely wonderful. The fact that actual musicians were cast in their roles, as opposed to actors playing musicians was a brilliant choice.

Oh so refreshing to cast musicians as musicians! A heartfelt story, well written and ably acted, with the unique and so appreciated approach that the music central to the story is performed (and in many cases composed) by the actors, who are also excellent professional musicians. There is thus nothing to distract from the story. Rather, it all contributes and moves the story forward. A wonderful, enjoyable and at times moving experience!

The Eddy is a remarkably done tv show that swoons you with its music but keeps you around for the amazing acting. The episodes are their own unique pieces within the broad scope of the story. I would highly recommend checking out the show when it drops on Netflix.

When you see Damien Chazelle is doing a jazz show wth Netflix, it's not gonna fail!
