The Playlist

Pleasantly surprised by the show, binged the whole show in a day, though I wish I forgot the last episode. The last episode literally added to value to the this mini series in my opinion, it felt like a bit of and afterthought.

Interesting to see it shot from the different perspectives of different characters.

I was engaged right from the offset.

The acting was very good and believable. The sound track was obviously obviously inspired by The Social Network score, but not ad good.

Would definitely say it's worth a watch, but I'm a little biased as I generally enjoy Movies/show about tech start ups.

I like how this series takes multiple perspectives to show us the rise and controversy of Spotify, and what issues were plaguing the record industry at the time. It's certainly worth the watch, especially if you like stories about start-ups.

However, if you do watch it, you lose the quality of the acting if you watch the dubbed version.

I did find the overall story to be quite interesting as it evolved, from the founder's vision and relentless pursuit, to the major issues faced when trying to realise that vision, and the compromises and realities faced as time went by. And ultimately, the main losers in the whole story were the very ones Spotify claimed to be serving.

Any story about the origin of a tech start-up is always fascinating with all the struggles and challenges it faces to become what it is. This is one such film.

The viewer gets to have a front seat as Spotify's story unfolds from the points of view of the major actors that made it the biggest thing in music streaming service: Daniel Ek, Martin Lorentzon, Petra Hansson, Andreas Ehn and Bobbi T.

Undoubtedly, it's an engaging story that introduces the viewer to key moments that pushed the start-up forward and upward. All the episodes are enlightening. And one particular episode is fun to watch. The idea of Petra Hansson in episode 3 flitting to different locations by opening different doors is brilliantly playful. Episode 4 is the heart of the series as it reveals how Andreas Ehn's creative coders solve the technical problem of buffering to come up with a unique network protocol. Andreas enthuses that the result "is the best designed, most user-friendly, most complete music player ever."

Episode 6 brings to the fore the consequent, if unintended, problems that Spotify's business model is wreaking upon the musicians themselves. This brings the company to a critical juncture. The essential question is will Daniel Ek compromise and address the plight of the average musician?

The talented cast succeeds in telling the story of this business giant. Kudos to Gizem Erdogan, Ulf Stenberg, Edvin Endre, and Janice Kavander for their solid performance. Bobbi T is a fictional character.)

There's just one scene though that's puzzling; this is the last scene. Check it out.

As is true in life, the multibillion-dollar company has to grapple with the need to change with the times. Only time will tell whether it will sustain its progressive trajectory.

This film is spot on.

A nice take on the origins of streaming site Spotify. Tight script, wonderful execution, well balanced approach and perfect star cast. It doesn't exactly say how much is truth and how much is fictionalized to spice it up or bland it down, but give n take, this is a well done limited series in recent past.

The Vision, The Industry, The Law, The Coder, The Partner and finally The Artist... Ooh it just gets better than the previous. There is a lot that goes behind an entrepreneurship is not unknown but what definitely is unknown is the how's n when's n what's to most and it's easy to get swayed away but The Playlist keeps it tight and just.

After having watched magnificent slow burn Dahmer, this was a welcome spot-on refreshing watch.

The playlist is an entertaining show but ultimately a fantasy based on truth.

First 5 episodes are great but 6th episode got an agenda and is biased.

That's the moment the record became scratched.

Take it for what it is, a fiction based on a true story.

That said, the soundtrack, casting, picture, the whole production is amazing.

Then again, let me think for myself, music is first and foremost supposed to be natural emotions expressed by art, not a must-succeed business for everyone.

Also, I thought I was watching a biography, not a spotify parody.

Could have been way better but sadly fell short.
