18. Mozart in the Jungle

Amazon Studios’ underdog 2016 Golden Globe winner for Best Comedy Series, Mozart in the Jungle takes viewers into a world mostly unseen. Although plenty of films and television series have been centered around music, few have given an inside look at modern classical music.

Based on a professional oboist’s memoir and created by the impressive team of Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman, and Alex Timbers, Mozart in the Jungle dives into the lives of a confident conductor (Gael Garcia Bernal) and fresh-faced oboist (Lola Kirke).

The charming comedy series might concern itself with a facet of music and entertainment outside the area of interest of the average television viewer. However, Mozart in the Jungle doesn’t alienate viewers and stands out with its original concept and stories. Before Amazon rolls out the latest season, catch up on the first few batches of episodes.
