Mozart in the Jungle cancelled by Amazon

If you need closed captioning, I'm assuming a hearing loss, and music is the main asset of this show (well, there are some attractive females, too), so, if that's the case, it would be difficult to get into it. But while it's highly fictional (based on a book that was questioned by the musicians who were colleagues of the author, and only closely based on it for half of one season), it does show a sort of inside look into the business of making and presenting classical music, and all the interpersonal relationships in an orchestra. So it's pretty entertaining for classical music lovers. Also, there were some compelling characters, it was mostly well-written, with good production values, some good actors and actresses... in general, a good show (like I said with ups and downs - the downs being that it was a bit over the top and over-histrionic), at least during seasons 1, 2, and 3, while 4 got to be whiny and silly and more of a romantic comedy, with less of interpersonal conflicts in the orchestra (which is pretty much dismantled in season 4 - it becomes a love story between the two main characters and that part is not really what was good about the show).

Yeah, sure, histrionic exaggeration was definitely a downside.

But your second paragraph, yes, you'd see a lot of that, if you were to give the show another chance.

Yes, it's very annoying when closed captions lag behind. I wonder if some advanced receivers will have ways to compensate for it by delaying the image. I know that my Yamaha receiver has a function for it, which I've never learned to use (but I remember reading about it when I first bought it).

LOL, cool stuff about the clarinet principal. I doubt he'd be fired for that. As the proverbial saying goes, "shit happens." In opera, that is, live theater, all sorts of snafus have happened, from revealing wardrobe malfunctions (fun, fun!) to slips and falls, etc., including, people dropping dead on stage from heart attacks. The latter, not so funny, of course. 

Natalie Dessay in one of her Lucia di Lammermoor performances had a wardrobe malfunction that exposed her naked breasts. I saw that performance on YouTube. Interesting sight. 

When the very beautiful Elina Garanca had her Carmen final scene with Roberto Alagna at the Met and he kept tugging on her top, and those big and beautiful boobs of hers looked like they'd pop out, the entire heterosexual male population in the theater (I was there) stopped breathing in thrilling anticipation... unfortunately, it didn't happen. Whatever adhesive they used to keep her breasts covered, sadly worked.
