Ranking the best of the best songs from a film with one of the best soundtracks of all time: High Fidelity.
In a pretty surprising move, Hulu has cancelled the half-hour comedy/drama series High Fidelity after one season. The show was anchored by Zoe Kravitz and was a radical adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel of the same name, which itself was turned into a charming film starring John Cusack in 2000. But the TV series gender-flipped the lead character, with Kravitz giving a pretty wonderful performance as “Rob,” a woman going through her past failed relationships all while trying to run her record store.

The 2000 cult hit, High Fidelity, is getting the TV series treatment and coming to Hulu on Valentine’s Day, 2020. And Hulu has released eight first look images from the forthcoming show.
