New Hulu series 'High Fidelity' is fresh off the press and ready for you to consume in just one sitting. For those of you that didn't know, (TV show) High Fidelity (2020) is an adaptation of (movie) High Fidelity (2000), which is an adaptation of (Novel) High Fidelity (1995).The TV show takes a fresh approach with a female lead role Rob instead of the past male character, Rob. The casting is modernised and fitted perfectly for our screens. There are several nods to its originals, notable easter eggs - even in the first episode, and the storyline remains mostly the same.The original motion picture was adored by many, myself included. And though, looking back in observation, its ideas about gender roles and similar topics displayed and discussed in the film are a tad dated - I can overlook those blips because of the comedic and candid honesty of the main protagonist and his humourous endeavors.Hulu's adaptation, for me, sits a little better. Rob is more likeable, whilst she still has some of the flaws and shortcomings that we grew to love before; her character seems more self-aware and unostentatious. She definitely is far cooler than our original lead and has a flare to her functions which can only be regarded as intriguing - all whilst maintaining this authentic aurora. Rob's style reflects her relaxed unkept nature and her outfits perfectly marry her moods. She is relatable with room to laugh at her expense in some comedic settings.At the core of High Fidelity is the backdrop of music and culture. The setting of a record shop gives nods to beloved artists, iconic albums as well as retrospectively controversial musicians. Whilst the show keeps up with the modern world, the classic musical gems are very much incorporated - which is a great appreciation from the people that tuned in based on their love for music in itself. This is something that was carried on from the original film - but with refreshing newness.We needed some quality new music fiction on our screens, and Hulu delivered it in the best way. I'm aiming not to give too much away - so without further or do, I sincerely recommend this show to anyone looking for a new series to watch. It holds the perfect balance of comedy, culture and romance. High Fidelity is the perfect pick-me-up treat of a show.
