Season 4 Review:
The thematic base of the fourth season is delivered most directly in the last of the season’s 10 episodes. Four seasons in is when you’d expect a series to jump the shark--or, in this case, the “sharp”--but the writers have been jumping sharks, real and imagined, all along.

Season 1 Review:
Mozart in the Jungle, which was adapted from Blair Tindall’s memoir of the same name, is surprisingly good, whether you’re into classical music or not. In fact, it’s almost as good as something you might find on HBO, which is what Amazon needs if it wants to succeed in the online television business.

Season 4 Review:
The will they/won’t they element might be gone (for now), but they’re still an exciting pair to watch. It’s a rare thing, to inspire such care from viewers whether they’re coupled or individuals, but Bernal and Kirke’s mix of flirtiness and companionability keeps us invested.

Season 4 Review:
Jungle's charms are plentiful, including vivid guest roles this season by Masi Oka and Michael Emerson, but it's Rodrigo, perfectly described as a "musical, magical elf," who makes it all sing. [5-18 Feb 2018, p.11]

Season 3 Review:
Mozart continues to check back in with the New York players until we return to them in earnest, and like Hailey and Rodrigo’s road trip in Season 2, these episodes work as a kind of extended reverie--though one that is not without its trouble and embarrassment, and yet, that makes it all the more charming. Speaking of charm, Kirke and Bernal continue to anchor the series with plucky charisma and passionate creativity.

Season 3 Review:
There are myriad pleasures to be had on the grace notes. [5-18 Dec 2016, p.22]
Season 1 Review:
Coppola and Schwartzman, who has a great cameo about a reporter doing a podcast, dole out just enough in these half-hour episodes to keep it light, funny and (by the fourth episode) a bit more brazenly quirky, while also not losing touch with the story's core--which is the music.

Season 3 Review:
Mozart is a show about people who may drive each other crazy, but all genuinely love the same thing, which makes it decidedly easy to like. That said, for some reason it always takes real nudging to engage with it, in part because that same pleasant energy doesn’t include the same sort of urgent drive that leads to addictive viewing.

Season 1 Review:
We see the orchestra and its egos through [new oboe player Hailey's (Lola Kirke)] sometimes incredulous eyes.... Mozart in the Jungle” made me laugh, although I have no idea whether it will make musicians or insiders with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra crack a smile.

Season 1 Review:
In truth, the drama half of this comedy-drama is a little weak and not as engaging as the comedy. That becomes evident a few episodes in, but, fortunately, the show’s creators don’t linger too long on Hailey’s love life before getting back to the very funny business of running a symphony orchestra.

Season 1 Review:
It’s not the best-plotted series: stories tumble by like clothes in an off-kilter dryer. But there’s charm in intimate moments, as when two worldly women share confidences, or a lovely sequence in which Rodrigo wanders around the city, sniffing the air and playing pickup chess.

Season 1 Review:
The show seems to think the mere idea of highbrow symphony pros humping, toking, and generally being lowbrow is, like, irreverently hilarious! It gets stale quickly.... but the seventh episode, a minor-key Fellini homage, won me back, thanks to inspired direction from Roman Coppola and dream-logic storytelling that digs deeper into the characters.

Season 1 Review:
For fans of "Smash" who miss that behind-the-scenes-of-Broadway show, Mozart is an OK, if less exciting replacement. Symphony performances lack the visual flair of musical theater numbers but the sense that you're peering into another cloistered universe is similar.
