Season 1 Review: It’s when it leans into that fascinating, cart-before-the-horse approach that the show really sets itself apart, creating an equivalence between the music and the drama that vibrates and resonates the way the deepest bassline does, a contact high that you feel in the pit of your stomach.

Season 1 Review: Don't miss this series, with its first-rate performances and impeccable filmmaking. It is rich and rewarding, even if it runs into the occasional plotting issue. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series presents life as something that happens simultaneously with music—not just adjacent to it, but surrounded by it. Refreshingly, the camerawork tells the story without gimmicks—no slo-mo, no flashbacks, no dream sequences. The result is that time, too, seems to be composed of music, moving forward at the same tempo. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The four episodes I’ve seen have some narrative kinks to work out, to be sure, but the filmmaking is truly stunning at times, and it manages to capture an energy and a beauty that more polished series can only dream of. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Script is not one that shines, though it does dip in and out of multiple languages, and give a great sense of the deeper bond among the people who end up in the Eddy together, even as they struggle and clash on the surface. True jazz fans may find it the perfect riff on the basic gangster plot. The rest of us, perhaps, not so much. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If you liked the rehearsal scenes in Whiplash, you’ll enjoy lots of this. But where in that film they were in the service of a tight story, here they are the high points of swirling, indulgent episodes that last more than an hour. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s naturalistic acting, and then there’s mumbling. And the first episode had a lot of mumbling, especially from André Holland. The Eddy is a pretentious mess of a show, and even the expert music that is interspersed through the first episode isn’t enough to save it. In fact, it makes things worse. Read full review

The eddy is one the best tv shows i've ever seen, maybe doesn't have a great story to tell, because all we are seen this before. The point is, how the eddy tell all the stories interconnected between of some members of the band. Justly, that stories that we forget because don't see. Here,The eddy is one the best tv shows i've ever seen, maybe doesn't have a great story to tell, because all we are seen this before. The point is, how the eddy tell all the stories interconnected between of some members of the band. Justly, that stories that we forget because don't see. Here, we can feel good, the jazz music it is so passion and deep that makes easier connect with everyone characters. Maybe the people will come to see this for Damien Chazelle (productor and director of the first two episodes) lookin for some of whiplash or la la land, but, no, its not, the eddy is get away for that line and make another, more simple, more jazzy, more introspective. I really liked this, the tecnic, the colors, and music, a very unique experience to me. Thanks, the eddy.… Expand
