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.
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.
