With a stunning cast of young talents, meticulous attention to period detail, and a rich source material, the series has a lot going for it.

However, it falls victim to a common problem of many streaming shows - dragging on when it should be building narrative momentum.

In the first few episodes, director James Ponsoldt creates a fantastic set for the band, but the series starts to feel repetitive, like a cover of a cover.

Although the first two episodes create enough goodwill to carry the show through later rough patches, the uniformly excellent cast does make even the mistakes tolerable.
