Amazon has dropped a few pilots in the last couple days for it's streaming customers, I finished watching this one about an hour ago and I'm still thinking about it.
The 27 minute drama is an odd creature, you're never sure if it's a comedy (Weeds), and the sexual content (Californication) as well as the missing explicit language filter can sometimes be alarming... But no, no boobies and no streams of cursing, but I'm still using the word Adult to classify this show because they're writing and filming it like a classy art house movie about New York.
Mozart in the Jungle's dynamic seems to be about the actual politics and sexual politics surrounding the New York Symphony using the classic mechanisms of new vs old, change, growth and evolution and death to paint monstrous landscape. Malcolm McDowell is unhappily on his way out, as some Latin Turk is usurping his position with a mountain of verve and a dead sexy accent. Then we have a 20 something ingenu taken under the gorgeous wing of Saffron Burrows who wants to mentor this young woman through the pitfalls and pleasures of New York before it chews her up and spits her out.
So we're probably heading towards corruption of innocence lost quite quickly as bad things happen to good people while the supervillainous laugh about it, and more fresh meat is tossed into the grinder.
Not a comedy, but some amusing parts, anyone else see it yet?
