Trying (2020–2024)

Love the show but needs new soundtrack

[8/10 · 27 August 2022]

I absolutely adored everything about this show - the casting, the story, the humor, the emotion. But please, please showrunners, give me one energetic scene without a Mumford & Sons track? But that's me being picky, all in all a fantastic show.

Surprisingly I didn't think it would be so touching considering I am not a parent, however it is an incredibly well written and touching feel good show. There are tender moments, as well as genuine moments of laughter.

It's also a refreshing point of view as far as rom com, or tv series go, which was a great surprise. Apple TV plus continues to launch really great and original content and this show is no different.

Cable Girls (2017–2020)

Great show, poor soundtrack

[7/10 · 22 August 2018]

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+
