Reviews
THR said:Music being such a personal preference, who knows if the show will be a hit for HBO. But creatively its a thing of real beauty, attempting to tell stories of people absolutely enamored with music on a life-altering level. Cannavale, already established and known to crush a scene on demand, takes his work to an entirely new stratum here Vinyl pulsates in every scene hes in.
The Globe & Mail said:One of the defining elements of Vinyl is its blunt depiction of an era when people bought vinyl records, the radio stations played them and the business was fuelled by money and cocaine. We see DJs paid to play new records with cash and coke. We see orgies hosted by radio station owners who believe they are the real power brokers in a multibillion dollar business. Vinyl is drenched in music, there is barely a scene that doesnt have classic pop and rock playing. And all of it feels authentic, anchored in Jaggers stories and staged by Scorsese with formidable verve.
TVLine said:Vinyl may hit one or two questionable notes in its first five episodes, but fueled by a beautifully realized sense of place and Cannavales certain-to-be-Emmy-nominated performance, its definitely worth a spin. Grade: B+
