HBO Renews VINYL for Second Season
One episode into its first season, HBO has already given the go ahead for a second season for Martin Scorsese's Vinyl. THR says the first episode didn't do remarkably well or anything, pulling in just a 1/4th under a million in viewership. The move is likely due to the names associated with the project (Mick Jagger is an executive producer), and the trouble HBO has had with Westworld.
Critics tended to bash the first episode, but I thoroughly enjoyed the two hour premiere! Scorsese always succeeds in showing me the classic New York City I wish I was a part of. I guess it's also appealing to me as someone who worked in radio as well to see the industry in its golden age. Also, Ray Romano?! C'mon he's great in this show. Check it out this Sunday if you haven't had a chance to do so yet.
