Alta Fidelidade

High Fidelity is one of my all time favorite books and movies. I'm not a fan of rebooting everything, so my expectations were low... the fact that Zoe's Mom was in the movie was the connection that made nge check it out. The story is fantastic and so far the story is a nice take on it. Definitely worth your time... regardless of the reviews from the fragile reviewers who can't handle a woman in a role previously held by man, say. It's not a stretch. It's a different feel. But different isn't always bad.

It needed a little more time to get going imo. Good remake nonetheless

This show was very good. Loved the authenticity of Rob and Mac's romance. Simon and Cherice were amazing side kicks. Great soundtrack by Questlove. Would have loved a bit more music talk-Simon's take on disco, for example. Loved the gesture with the guitar at the end. Sad it is not coming back for a second season. Cherice was hysterical and I'm sure there was a lot more in store for them all.

I hate when I stumble across a show that I really love and then find out its going nowhere. The story, characters, acting and music were all excellent in this show. I really wanted to know where the characters were going to go and now I'll just have to make that up. Such a shame.

Just finished first 3 episodes and it's definitely better than expected. Not sure I agree with all the negative reviews on here. It's more of an homage to the original vs. a straight remake.

Top 5 Pros/Cons

Pros:

• Cast is great especially Zoe Kravitz. Makes for a great female version of Rob
• Music is excellent (just like in the original)
• Because this isn't condensed into a 2 hour movie, there's more time to flesh out the different relationships

Cons:

• Not really a negative as Jack Black owned the original role, but the actress playing his role on the series isn't as good
• Does repeat a lot of the same scenes and situations in the original, but not always a negative as they have more time to expand on some of these situations (I.e. Ian / Lily)

The original High Fidelity is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time, so was hesitant to watch this given all the negative reviews. But I'm glad I did as it's been pleasantly surprising after the first 3 episodes. If you enjoyed the world of the original High Fidelity and watch the series as a homage to it, you'll enjoy it like I have so far.
