For a show with a Golden Globe for best TV comedy and the might of Amazon behind it, 'Mozart in the Jungle' has yet to attract legions of devout viewers. That?s probably because the Jason Schwartzman-produced comedy about a New York symphony orchestra sounds awards-bait-y at best, and unwatchably pretentious at worst. But, despite the snooty premise, it is exactly the kind of show that should be a favorite amongst lazy Sunday TV marathoners. Keeping the classical music inside jokes to a minimum, Mozart in the Jungle is actually a hapless millennial sitcom in the vein of Master of None, it just happens to be set in a less conventional workplace. Mozart stars Lola Kirke as Hailey Rutledge, a fledgling oboist finding her feet in the New York City music scene. At the same time, the classical musical world is getting a big shake-up of its own: esteemed conductor Thomas Pembridge is being replaced by the extravagantly eccentric Rodrigo de Souza, a musical prodigy played with healthy doses of humor and charm by actor Gael García Bernal. Made up of 2 season of 20 episodes each, Mozart in the Jungle can be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime
