Anyone else see this?

I ask because there's zero chance anybody I know irl would have seen this?

Any good takes?

I'm still trying to figure out my take. Bad part is it was too...boring...to watch twice. Good but...slow.

Anyway this entire world of cultured urban elite professional is so entirely alien that it was kind of awkward to watch. I don't even own a suit, I will never see a prestigious orchestra anywhere but YouTube. Even if I like classical music, which I do, these trappings make it clear it's not FOR ME.

the way these NPR rich libs are so just elite about something as raw as music. The scene where she had to help the disabled woman back in her chair and immediately went home to wash herself. They might work in passion for a profession but these people are sooo sterile.

It's attitude on cancel culture is something I'm still trying to work out. Lydia lecturing the zoomer student looked like something theys post on redscarepod. Then they slowly revealed that she was a groomer. I liked that. You wouldn't automatically put up your defense mechanisms, they convinced you she was a villain

    Bach wasn't even that bad of a person either. Like, he was just a German (which sure, unforgivable, but at least he wasn't French) Protestant who had a lot of kids. Maybe he was racist or something but we don't actually know a lot about him, he didn't really leave much writing or letters or anything. I totally get trying to exclude somebody like Wagner from the canon for obvious reasons, even if I ultimately disagree, but Bach is just such a weird one to choose.
