I had never heard of Daniel Ek before this story, but I am glad I know who he is today. Talk about changing a business. "The Playlist" very much feels like 6 movies based in one story, and that works for this story. It works because each episode is focused on a different character, and none of them are Borring. In fact each character brings something new and different to the story. Daniel brings the vision, Per tells the story of the business and how much everyone had forgotten how much they were hurting in the 2000s. Petra tells the legal story of how Spotify manges the legal side and so on. That is why each episode feels like a different movie. You pretty much only need to see the very first episode to get hooked. Had the show chosen to stay in the past, and not gone to the future, I would most likely have given it a 10/10. But when you sit back and watch the last episode,.you might ask yourself: who is the actual villain in this story? Or are there even any villains to blame? Even if the show is in Swedish, I suggest you start watching asap.

If you're someone who likes Spotify or music in general or tech/entrepreneurship, you should check this out. I think you should check this out even otherwise, it's a very well-made series. I'm 4 episodes in and I'm hooked onto it the way I was hooked onto Chernobyl and that's saying something. It has an episode dedicated to each person responsible for the creation of the most beautiful music app there is, from the creator of Spotify, Daniel Ek, to the CEO of Sony to the CTO, Andreas to the lawyers and legal teams involved. If there was ever a show that could do justice to the genius of the app and the people that built it, it is probably this one.

Pleasantly surprised by the show, binged the whole show in a day, though I wish I forgot the last episode. The last episode literally added to value to the this mini series in my opinion, it felt like a bit of and afterthought. Interesting to see it shot from the different perspectives of different characters. I was engaged right from the offset. The acting was very good and believable. The sound track was obviously obviously inspired by The Social Network score, but not ad good. Would definitely say it's worth a watch, but I'm a little biased as I generally enjoy Movies/show about tech start ups.
