Better Than The Idol: 5 Great Shows About Music Industry
These series will be able to heal the wound that has been inflicted by The Idol.
One of the most anticipated releases of 2023, The Idol, starring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, recently premiered.
Unfortunately, the HBO project was so disappointing that there is probably no chance of a second season. Here are five really worthwhile series that reveal the underbelly of the music industry and show the difficult road to fame.
The Get Down
The show reveals all the passions of New York, the birth of hip-hop culture and the difficult path to fame by telling the story of an orphaned boy.
Despite his situation, he does not lose heart and tries to move forward. It is also the story of a girl who lives with a tyrannical father and dreams of becoming a singer.
Vinyl
The producer, who has almost lost his job and reputation, is gradually losing hope of finding a new and talented band for his record company.
The main character thinks about selling the company and has problems with drugs. But unexpectedly hope appears – a young group of rockers gives the company a second chance and the producer tries to start a career from scratch.
Katy Keene
Young Katy dreams of a career as a designer, but for now she can only work in chic boutiques and hiding her true talent.
Her roommate performs as a drag queen in nightclubs and hopes to make it to the Broadway stage, and new roommate Josie has come to take over the city with her amazing voice.
Will the characters be able to make it all come true, or are dreams just dreams?
Julie and the Phantoms
After a tragic incident, young Julie gives up her main dream – music. Nothing seems to please her anymore, but one day a miracle happens.
While cleaning out the attic, she finds a disk of the old band and suddenly its members appear in the form of ghosts. Thanks to them, the girl finds her way back to music and inspiration.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
This series is not really about the music industry, but about how music suddenly becomes an integral part of a girl's life in the most unexpected way.
During the MRI, an unforeseen situation happens and the main character gets an amazing superpower. The world around Zoey opens the door to people's thoughts, which are transmitted to her in the form of songs.
