Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Mozart in the Jungle earns its spot. The jokes in Mozart in the Jungle land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. In the tradition of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential" and Gelsey Kirkland's "Dancing on my Grave" comes an insider’s look into the secret world of classical musicians. From her debut recital at Carnegie Recital Hall to the Broadway pits of "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon," Blair Tindall has played with some of the biggest names in classical music for twenty-five years. Now in "Mozart in the Jungle," Tindall exposes the scandalous rock and roll lifestyles of the musicians, conductors, and administrators who inhabit the insular world of classical music. Between them, Gael García Bernal and Lola Kirke carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It ran for 4 seasons (2014–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What keeps Mozart in the Jungle from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Mozart in the Jungle is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to And Just Like That… are real, though Mozart in the Jungle carves out its own identity quickly. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Gael García Bernal sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Mozart in the Jungle was cancelled in 2018, created by Jason Schwartzman, Roman Coppola and Alex Timbers — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
