The series "Vinyl" reviews received in the most enthusiastic, filmmakers of all stripes praised him for colorful characters, a rich atmosphere, brilliant casting and casting. The project has a high rating (IMDb: 8.00) in comparison with other telefilms.

Creators

The series "Vinyl" was directed by the great Martin Scorsese - film director, who presented the cult gangster series "Underground Empire" about the USA of the 1920s. Above the script worked a creative group of screenwriters under the leadership of Terence Winterom, who wrote the script for The Clan of the Sopranos and the same "Underground Empire". The consultant and co-author of the script was the legendary Mick Jagger, who was making an adjustment to the formation of musical trends in the 1970s. Reviews of the TV show "Vinyl" confirm that participation in the production of the picture of the vocalist of the rock band The Rolling Stones has increased the indicator of the expectation of the premiere to 97%. Jagger was so carried away with the production of the series that he tracked even the smallest details, achieving the perfect match with the spirit of the 1970s, saturated the project with amazing texture.

The story aimed at by the creators is famously twisted around the personality of the protagonist - Richie Finestra (Bobby Cannavale), a former successful owner of one of the many American record companies that is tearing and sobbing in search of new talents and trends in music to remain competitive.

The central metaphor

Pilot series of the project lasts almost two hours, and it accurately recognizes the author's handwriting of Martin Scorsese. Chopped editing, spectacular camera angles, an abundance of flashbacks and, of course, enough music. The director-music lover first created an artistic, rather than a documentary, about the music industry, so he does not deny himself anything. Contributing authors, evaluating the series "Vinyl", the reviews were built in such a way that the reader immediately became aware that the central metaphor for Scorsese's new project is music. The musical accompaniment in the picture interacts absolutely with everything: time, character characters, places and whole social layers. To accompany flashbacks, the director uses rock'n'roll and blues, in the later series appears disco, hip-hop and punk.

Portrait of a whole era

Branded Rapid, long camera passes, alternating with clip-on editing, riot of colors and relevant voice-over comments - that's what Vinyl is. The series critics praised the reviews. They added to the above advantages armor-piercing, slightly careless, but with perfectly spaced accents dramatic art, and loud, verbose, worthy of being disassembled into quotes dialogues. One of the successful chips of the series, according to critics, is the figuring of various legendary figures of the rock industry: Alice Cooper, David Bowie, John Lennon, Elvis himself and Andy Warhol. To enhance the effect, creators sometimes inserted fragments of cult video clips between the episodes, which is really impressive. Therefore, the series "Vinyl" reviews experts position as a portrait of an era.

Plot

According to the critics who analyzed the series "Vinyl", the plot of the project is in order. Although it is not very original, it is really fascinating. It is enough and detective intrigue, and human and production drama. Some experts have commented on the plot "sagging" in the culminating series of the telefilm. But this fact does not significantly affect the overall impression.

The story begins in 1973. The main character Richie Finestra, the owner of the formerly authoritative record label American Century, is actively searching for new talented musicians and vocalists. ABBA Richie overlooked, profits bring only criminal schemes, mega-hit records have long been gone, so things are going really bad. Changes in the conjuncture of the music market (the birth of hip-hop and punk) coincide with private troubles in Richie's life. And here he, sitting in his Mercedes, on the verge of despair hears the New York Dolls playing music in some nightclub. The hero understands - this is exactly what he has been looking for so long.

Narrative branches

The fact that "Vinyl" is a series, reminds only slowly developing second-line storylines:

• The pretentious assistant (Juno Temple) is trying in every possible way to attract attention and conquer the vocalist of the promising punk band (James Jagger).
• The first client appears, a man from the past of Richie, an African American bluesman.
• The predilection for mineral water and the ostentatious homeowness of the beautiful wife of the hero also unambiguously hint that the creators have something to tell.

The series "Vinyl" reviews viewers by popularity compared with "The Game of Thrones", predict greater success and longevity first.

Charismatic protagonist & company

American television and film actor Robert Cannavale feels himself in the Scorsese project at ease. His hero stands out among other characters with his empathy and expression, prompting in the hearts of the audience an inexplicable sympathy.

Rock-n-roll dope

The series "Vinyl" reviews film critics and spectators praise in unison. It is almost impossible to scold. If, during the viewing, the perplexing "why" and "what" begin to arise, then it is only necessary to sound the music, and they disappear without a trace. After all, every musical composition that sounds in the picture is like an uppercut, from the dizzying rock-and-roll dope you manage to wake up only in the last series of the season. By the way, the second season will be released in the winter of 2017, but, unfortunately, without Terence Winter. With the screenwriter producers, referring to the arisen creative disagreements, said goodbye.
