Cable Girls

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.

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 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 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

It's hard to imagine that anyone who appreciates the series as a period piece wouldn't cringe at the music chosen throughout the first season. It's true that other liberties are taken that don't necessarily reflect the period but none as jarring as the soundtrack. If that is an attempt to connect the message to the present day, please stop!! I promise we can all make that connection without watching a 1920's jazz club blaring bad electronic music. Please spare us that discomfort in season 2!!
