The record store Rob owns in High Fidelity, the Hulu limited series starring Zoe Kravitz, houses countless albums filled with broken-hearted ballads. In the 10-episode show, Rob's recounting five of her own "desert island, all-time" heartaches.
Based on the 2000 film starring John Cusack and the 1995 Nick Hornby novel of the same name, High Fidelity "centers on Rob, a female record store owner in the rapidly gentrified neighborhood of Crown Heights, Brooklyn who revisits past relationships through music and pop culture, while trying to get over her one true love," per a Hulu press release.
Kravitz also executive produces the series, which follows Rob as she seeks romantic harmony, reliving her most brutal breakups in the process. So far, it doesn't appear to be a smooth journey. At one point in the trailer she describes running into an ex: "You know that scene at the end of Braveheart where they rip all his entrails out and he's like, 'Freedom!' But it's like a positive thing, you know? Because he inspired his people or whatever? Like that, but without the silver lining."
While her love life may be out of tune, her business boasts "decently curated cuts, [an] unpretentious location," and an owner who's "a little rude," per a two-and-a-half-star Yelp review. She runs it alongside Cherise (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) and Simon (David H. Holmes). Jake Lacy and Kingsley Ben-Adir co-star as two possible love interests.
Hulu's High Fidelity will debut on February 14.
