High Fidelity	comment	A series adaptation of the book High Fidelity, which had previously been adapted into a film of the same name.Like the book and film, the show is about a music snob and record store owner Rob (reimagined as a bisexual woman of color played by ZoÃ« Kravitz). Rob isn't over her ex-boyfriend Mac (Kingsley Ben-Adir), and eventually decides to seek out her top five exes to find out where her relationships go wrong, even as sparks fly with a man named Clyde (Jake Lacy). Along for the ride are her employees and friends Cherise (Da'Vine Joy Randolph) and Simon (David H. Holmes); the latter is Rob's third heartbreak.The series premiered on Hulu in February 2020. It was not renewed for a second season.

High Fidelity / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
High Fidelity / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The novel was set in London. In the pilot, Rob's ex Mac, whom she's having trouble getting over, moves to London when he leaves her (though he's back in Brooklyn by the end of the episode). In the novel and the movie, Rob loses his first "girlfriend", Alison, to Kevin Bannister. In the series, Kevin Bannister is now Rob's first ex. In the movie, Rob, Barry and Dick end up seeing Marie DeSalle at a club. In the series, the singer Rob, Cherise and Simon go to see - Liam - is playing at a club called DeSalle's. In the movie, during a busy day at the record store, Rob puts on the Beta Band's "Dry the Rain" in order to sell records by the band. Early in episode seven, at the record store, "Dry the Rain" is playing. Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love it Will Be Forever)" plays over the closing credits of the movie, and for the beginning of the last episode of the first season, as well as the end of that episode.

Rob goes as Kat's plus-one to an event and is struck by how fake it all feels. Even the glamorous apartment turns out to have been rented by the company for the event.
