It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I binge-watched the entire four seasons over a period of three days, and at the end of season four I wanted to express myself to someone, anyone, about how unsatisfying the ending of season four was! I was sucked in at the beginning of season one with the characters: the naive ingenue oboe player, her cool offbeat best friend, the charismatic and unpredictable Mexican Maestro, and it was clear from the beginning that the inexperienced young musician and the brilliant Maestro belonged together, and that through the seasons they became closer and closer until they became an item. Then, in the last season everything goes to pieces. The talented oboe player decides to become a conductor, which is a more ridiculous ambition than being a member of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and when she fails due to her own psychological problems she ends her relationship with the charismatic conductor and he goes completely insane. A spiteful ballet choreographer convinces him that he is participating in a conceptual art performance with no audience, no music, and no other dancers, so the Maestro dances around Central Park all by himself in the throes of total madness. Meanwhile somehow his former girlfriend gets to contuct the New York Philharmonic in a new piece by a famous composer which ends with a long standing ovation. It is as if the entire series was written by a deranged feminist whereby what is happy about the ending is that the underdog character grows throughout the seasons as her hair gets shorter, and her genius partner sinks deeper into madness as he becomes more dependent on her presence in his life. The series had me at hello, and then led me deeper down the rabbit hole to a horrible ridiculous ending almost as if the writer had had her heart broken by a Mexican maestro and this was her revenge!

Hurry. I need season 5. This wonderful show makes me smile and laugh out loud. It's smart, artistic. Cast is absolutely perfect.

Well, just like every other person - I like music- but I hate musicals.Had nothing else to watch and just played the first episode on prime - didn't stop till I finished all the seasons in just 3 days.This is an excellent series, light hearted and extremely well acted and directed - except for just one filler episode - the whole series was fun to watch.Can't wait to see season 4.Don't miss it.

I have never been part of a professional orchestra, I never was good at band, and I know this show is not realistic. I'm pretty sure that someone that's good enough to be considered for the NYC Symphony is probably going to get solid offers elsewhere. They're not going to stick around and be an assistant and keep being jerked around like Hailey. I'm pretty sure that if you're good enough for the orchestra, you probably were recruited and on the radar of several groups. You're going to play for smaller symphonies until NYC comes calling again. She's old enough to know when you're being jerked around. Some people get a kick out of it, and that's what's happening to her with the Maestro.The lengths to which the show goes to make these highly accomplished NYC symphony members sympathetic is pretty far. We all know members like them would be insufferable and pompous. They wouldn't act like they're on Seinfeld and be so self-deprecating and flawed.
