They have remade High Fidelity, with roles reversed

Zoë Kravitz stars as Rob Gordon in this gender-swapped version of Nick Hornby’s novel (and Stephen Frears’s 2000 movie) High Fidelity

A 30-something working in a record store in sunny Crown Heights, Brooklyn (an “unpretentious location,” according to one of their Yelp reviews)

Rob is rich in music and poor in love. So, she’s going back through her most glorious heartbreaks to find out what the heck went wrong and, hopefully, get over her ex.

Watch the trailer and let us know what you think


In this series Rob is not a pasty neurotic WASP male but an all too cool African American Women, who has relationships with both Men and Women.


(How is the John Cusack version already 20 years old??)


In her first TV series post–Big Little Lies, Kravitz is following in her mother’s footsteps. Lisa Bonet who co-starred in the 2000 adaptation with John Cusack. Like mother, like daughter! High Fidelity also stars Da’Vine Joy Randolph, David H. Holmes, Jake Lacy, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. Get acquainted with Rob Gordon’s “desert island, all-time, top five most memorable heartbreaks” when High Fidelity drops on Hulu February 14
