I can't get this show out of my head ever since i finished it a week ago. I already want to rewatch it. The world building is just incredible, the atmosphere feels so immersive, as if you were right there with the characters. And I have been thinking a lot as to why. And I think it's partially that the dialogues were written so naturally and the actors give their all as well. Also the very detailed and realistic set design. But I think most of this immersiveness comes from the fact that the actors really became musicians and learned their instruments in the prepping process (thanks to covid....), and so they did not just pretend to be playing on screen but they really performed all the songs we can see in the concert scenes. Also, this is the first music-oriented film I have seen about (fictional) musicians. Most musician biopics use music as a way of transitioning from scene to scene, and a lot of time music feels like a background element, simply because actors usually have limited skills at playing instruments. But here, the actors became musicians in the process, and so you have both really good acting and great music skills, allowing to put the action of playing music into a more central place in the film. It feels more like you are observing musicians in their natural habitat, rather than a well-directed music biopic. It just shows really well that the whole crew had a longer time to work on the film than usual and they used that time well to create all those tiny details that make up the overall vibe of the show. And the story itself is just so emotional and captivating, that, putting all these together, it's pretty easy to fall in love with the show.
