Robyn 'Rob' Brooks (Zoë Kravitz) is a twenty something New Yorker. She owns a struggling record shop in Brooklyn. She has an obsessive knowledge of music and most pop culture except for the Sopranos. Cherise and Simon Miller are her opinionated employees. The love of her life is her ex Mac who is moving on with his life. Nice guy Clyde is hopelessly in love with her and she is taken with hot rising music star Liam Shawcross.
There is no doubt that Zoë Kravitz is very charismatic. At its core, this is essentially a single gal sitcom. Rob is a very self-sabotaging character and that gets a bit frustrating. Normal sitcoms could get away with it by making the single gal a little bit clueless especially in love. Zoë Kravitz could never play that. She is dripping with cool chick energy. She can't play dumb. She's a smart character doing dumb things and that's infuriating. It's easy to get into the series once that is established. The show gets better as it goes along. There is a fun character played by Parker Posey and I'm glad that the episode ends with Clyde paying the $20. This is a cool show and by the end of its ten episodes, it gets to a comfortable level but at last, Hulu cancels it after that one season.
