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!!
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, 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 series is really good. It deals with a really important issue, the acting is awesome (except for Francisco) and it is a truly nice entertaining show... BUT WHAT THE H*LL IS WRONG WITH THE SOUNDTRACK? Who was responsible for this? In the beginning I couldn't keep me from laughing when hip hop and pop music started playing, but then it just started to irritate me. Really. It spoiled some parts of the series.
