Vinyl -- The New Go-To Series

Yesterday I fell in love. With what? With the best new TV series ever. I fell in love so much that I watched it for eight hours yesterday … and now am patiently waiting for the rest of the season to come out. (And by patiently I mean dreading the wait). It is an HBO original series that is SO good the only show that can’t beat it is Entourage (but that’s a whole new story). With creators Mick Jagger, Martin Scorsese, Rich Cohen, and Terence Winter it is a must watch of the year.

Described as a rock-n-roll-induced euphoria, Vinyl is an American period drama set in the early/mid-1970s about the record executive, Richie Finestra, and his record company American Century. While the music scene in the 70s was still overflowing with sex and drugs, the story really focuses on the ups and downs of the industry, the company, and what rock music means to Richie. It recreates the bands Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and many other classic rock groups of the 70s. Its creators are about as rock-n-roll as you can get, so as you could imagine, it is a time traveling series that truly recreates the 70s music scene and what rock-n-roll meant back then.

Vinyl premiered on February 14, 2016 and currently has over 180,000 likes on Facebook, over 27,000 followers on Twitter, over 37,000 followers on Instagram, and continues to grow attention all over the Internet. Every series has some negative reviews, but who doesn't love the 70s rock era? Which is why it is a MUST SEE and has been talked about so much on social media sites and by journalists. It truly takes you back to that time period with the old set, the styling, the bell-bottom pants, Afros, and bright, patterned shirts you wouldn't dare wear today.

Basically if you love rock-n-roll and the 70s, watch it. Or if you love Martin Scorsese (who doesn't?), watch it, because you might fall in love like I did.
