Sharang L Flounders a little to start off but finds its groove soon enough to deliver another solid season. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Audience Member Such a disappointment! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The good: It's about classical music/orchestras. There are a few quality moments here and there. The bad: It's all pretty bad to be honest. It's like 95% cringe. It has the feeling of being written by someone whose entire experience of New York City is religiously watching Sex and the City and vacationing there for one weekend during high school. The quips and dialog that tries to be Girls with instruments are eye rollingly cliché, but the actors are supposed to be these deeply passionate artists who are the best of the best living in the bohemian capital of the art world, New York City. They say you should never watch how the sausage is made; this show feels like you're getting a good glimpse of the process as you watch. Along those same lines, the show really makes a big deal out of authenticity, and "playing with blood" and that anything else is artless pap, but the show itself really never comes close to reaching any significant feeling of authenticity. The acting is also pretty bad and over the top for the most part. Like, no one is winning any awards for their acting here. The ugly: It goes out of its way to denigrate unions and anything union related. Literally, there's an episode where the first chair violinist tries to hatch an insurance scheme on his $10 million dollar violin because he's having money trouble and he's worried about the orchestra going on strike. It's as if Jeff Bezos himself came down and demanded they add something anti-union every episode. There are all these lame, obvious manufactured crises that all come down to being the fault of unions or anything remotely pro labor. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Still love it as much as I did after the first season. Maybe I love it even more if that's possible. I can't handle the fact that I have to wait for season 3, I need it now! I loved how the character developed in this season. I feel like Hayley is really beginning to find herself, although I also feel like she's not entirely sure about what she wants yet. One of my favourite things on this show are the characters, how they act in certain situations, how they develop, how to are around each other, I love it. At one point in this season, the orchestra goes on tour and they end up in Mexico. Episode 6 is one of those episodes, and was my favourite episode of this season! Once you've seen it you might understand why, haha. They also find some problems within the board this season, it's not like I highly disliked those parts, but they weren't my favourites either. The music makes everything better and I still adore maestro Rodrigo with all my heart, that man is amazing. I'll be patiently waiting here for season 3 (starts the soundtrack music). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season blends seamlessly into the first, not losing it's dramatic momentum. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A large improvement of the first season because the humour was funnier. It found its grove.
