    I haven't seen the show or read all of the book. I am a symphony musician and I know the author and a number of people she wrote about. All my classical music friends found it hilarious that she wrote a book about sleeping with the personnel managers of classical groups to get work then was frustrated when they didn't call her to play. Duh! In the real world you get work by how well youI haven't seen the show or read all of the book. I am a symphony musician and I know the author and a number of people she wrote about.

Duh! In the real world you get work by how well you play and Blaine barely played to the level she was getting called to play. If the personnel manager (usually called the contractor as they contract the musicians) hired a lady he had sex with and she didn't play up the level of the group she would not get called back (for anything..) and the contractor would be embarrassed or fired. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've been a union player since 1975 and have played literally thousands of gigs, many times with top orchestras and famous people, and i do not see this happening.

    I hope it's a good show and it spreads the word about the wonders and joys of classical music. I guess if an impossibly handsome character shows up it must be a depiction of me!

    Congratulations to her on making a bundle on her book but I can assure you classical fans out there that we get hired by what comes out of our instruments, not by making out. There is plenty of drama but most of it is purely musical.    … Expand

    Only watch season 1! Season one gets a 9, season 2 gets a 3, so averaged is 6.

    Season one was an incredible breath of fresh air and a celebration of the love of music in all of its forms.

    Season two is just Rodrigo spouting "Hai Lai," characters trying to sleep with each other, and no humor or life to be found anywhere.

    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.

    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.

    Forget everything you assumed about the lives of classic musicians. Turns out, they’re not so boring. Mozart in the Jungle, then, is like Girls meets Amadeus.
