High Fidelity, a music-focused reinvention in its own right, is also surprisingly unterrible.
Actually, Ill go a step further: Its actually pretty good.
But there are also key details that have been updated.
Unlike Barry, Cherise is a black woman.
Unlike Dick, Simon is gay.
And this Rob is a sexually fluid woman of color.
(One of her top-five exes is a woman.)
The statement in that title wasnt literally true.
But it was pretty damn close.)
Kravitzs Rob also possesses many of the same relationship issues as the protagonist inHigh Fidelity1.0.
She fears commitment, shes fixated on the past, and she can be highly self-involved.
We also get a deeper peek into the lives of other characters.
(Shes played by Parker Posey, which is perfect.)
I wish the series had done more of that.
Kravitz is a big reason why.
Like Cusack, she speaks directly to camera, but shes a much more low-key presence.
This song, she announces while bopping around the store, is dope as shit!
High Fidelityis half analog and half digital.
Rob is constantly on her cell phone, checking and sending texts.
But when shes alone, her preferred mode of music listening is via turntable.
