Series Description:
“High Fidelity” is a romantic comedy series that premiered on Hulu on February 14, 2020. Developed by Veronica West and Sarah Kucserka, the show is a reimagining of Nick Hornby’s 1995 novel and its 2000 film adaptation. The series stars Zoë Kravitz as Robyn “Rob” Brooks, a record store owner in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood. Rob is a passionate music enthusiast who frequently breaks the fourth wall to share her “Top Five” lists and insights into her past relationships.
The narrative delves into Rob’s journey of self-discovery as she revisits her “Top Five” heartbreaks, seeking to understand her romantic failures. Supporting characters include her best friends and employees: Simon, portrayed by David H. Holmes, and Cherise, played by Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Their dynamic adds depth and humor to the storyline, exploring themes of love, friendship, and personal growth.
“High Fidelity” received positive reviews for its fresh perspective and Kravitz’s performance. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an 86% approval rating, with the consensus stating that the series offers a “fresh take on a familiar track” and provides Kravitz ample room to shine.
Despite its favorable reception, Hulu canceled the series after one season in August 2020. The show’s blend of music, pop culture references, and exploration of modern relationships resonated with audiences, making its single-season run a notable entry in contemporary television adaptations.
