I find it extremely concerning and disgraceful that the producers of this show would choose to bring on a person who was emotionally abusive towards another cast member (there is footage in the past season so it's not even up for debate).

Domestic violence is not something that should be used to drum up higher ratings. This is exactly why people are cancelling their Netflix subscriptions. Very much so not impressed. People should be demanding this be removed. I understand this is reality tv but surely there must be standards. What message is this sending to young men and women? Certainly nothing good.

The protagonist and her family have a tenderness to them that really warms the heart. The film tells a beautiful, emotionally rich story of loss, family, friendship, and coming of age. It's a gentle reminder of the adage it takes a village to raise a child, and despite the difficult situation the protagonist is put in the film still manages to capture all the love and support that exists in her community. There's little overdramatisation / fetishisation of the hardship being faced (we are more than a culmination of our struggles). For me these nuances really made the film hit different. You can tell this story was crafted by someone who identifies with the people of the film. Highly recommend, absolute gem <3.

Watching High Fidelity reminds me of the first time I ever saw Freaks and Geeks. There's just something so unique about it and there were so many moments where I actually got goosebumps either from a scene or a song selection! (They have the soundtrack on Spotify btw).

Although there's only one season (unless Netflix picks it up🙏🏽) you really go on a journey with every character. None of them fit into any one box really which is probably why Hulu decided to cancel it. I'm just glad I stumbled upon it, and am sure I'll be rewatching it soon.
