Vinyl (TV Series)

"HBO’s flashy and often astonishing new drama 'Vinyl' feels like the HBO-iest show the network has ever made. (...) 'Vinyl's' premiere, which is plenty movie-like, could arguably stand alone as Scorsese’s most satisfying film since 'The Departed'" 

"Big, noisy and crazy brilliant HBO series (...) The performances are masterful on every level (...) Cannavale vaults to the top of the list of Emmy candidates." 

"Welcome to New York, 1973: The spirit of rock & roll is a cesspool of money, drugs and bodily fluids. It's the same unholy trinity that fuels Vinyl, the excellent new HBO tale of the Seventies music business" 

"This is a gritty, bloody knuckled rock ‘n' roll fairy tale as told by the best in the business. There’s little chance that 'Vinyl' will either burn out or fade away. (...) Rating: ★★★★ ½ (out of five)" 

"The pilot for the musical drama 'Vinyl' is one of Martin Scorsese’s best films (...) the next four episodes are almost as good, and on the basis of the first half-season, it already feels like the first new must-see series of 2016." 

"Jagger-Scorsese music drama not destined to top the charts. (...) Of course the show is about the music (...) There’s so much here, “Vinyl” runs the risk of turning into 'Treme', which seemed to be a music show with a touch of plot." 

"Who knows if 'Vinyl' will be a hit for HBO. But creatively it's a thing of real beauty, attempting to tell stories of people absolutely enamored with music on a life-altering level."
