Netflix series about Spotify's origins sees resurgence in popularity
Despite initially being overlooked by many subscribers, the show has garnered a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes and critical acclaim for its 'near-perfect' portrayal and critique of the music industry.
Inspired by the book Spotify Untold, the series dedicates each episode to a different facet of the music industry, offering varied perspectives.
Netflix has a habit of prematurely cancelling acclaimed series, including past examples like The OA and Mindhunter.
The recent cancellation of the murder mystery The Residence, starring Uzo Aduba, is highlighted, despite its positive reviews and strong ratings, possibly due to high internal performance expectations.

‘Oh my gosh no' – Commentators in shock as never-before-seen blunder sees chess star miss out on share of over £1MILLION
A CHESS grandmaster QUIT after he lost out on a share of a £1million prize fund following a never-before-seen mistake. Poland's Jan-Krzysztof Duda sensationally resigned after making a slight mishap during a last-16 clash this week. 2 2 Duda faced Nodirbek Abdusattorov at the Esports World Cup on Thursday. Duda, 27, and Uzbekistan's Abduattorov, 20, drew twice during regular games before Duda abandoned the game in the Armageddon. It came after the rarest of mistakes - an accidental computer MOUSE SLIP after making his fifth move on the board. The commentator couldn't believe it and he roared: "Oh my gosh no. "For the first time a mouse slip instantly decides a game at the ESports World Cup. "This is an occupational hazard for ESports all over the world but this is the first time we've seen this in such a crunch situation. "This, no-one was expecting." While his fellow announcer said: "Unbelievable". In online chess, a slip refers to an unintentional move caused by a player's mouse, often due to misclicks or dragging a piece to the wrong square. There isn't a universal rule dictating how to handle them in Esports, but rather a mix of etiquette and practical considerations. Some players choose to accept the mistake, continue playing, or even resign, while others might offer a draw or accept a takeback. Ebereche Eze wins £15,000 in celebrity online chess tournament - and celebrates more than his Wembley FA Cup goal But Duda quit despite the game being the difference between winning $65,000 or at least $85,000 in the quarterfinals. The first place prize for the tournament is $250,000, with a combined prize pool of $1.5 million. After his shock win, Abdusattorov said: "It's quite unbelievable right now. "In general, I am very happy to qualify for the final eight. It's going to be even tougher in the Finals." Fans were quick to have their say on social media. One said: "Bro will regret this his entire life."

Tom Hiddleston's fiancée sets record straight on wedding claims and reveals ‘toxic paragraphs' from family members
THE MARVELS star Zawe Ashton has set the record straight amid rumours she's secretly married long-time love Tom Hiddleston. The famous couple have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, going public for the first time in 2021 after a rumoured two years of dating. 5 5 It's known the pair got engaged in 2022, the same year they welcomed their first child together – and it was confirmed earlier this year they were expecting their second. When the announcement noted Tom as Zawe's 'husband', rumours started circulating that they had secretly tied the knot. This week, Zawe joined longtime pal Miquita Oliver on her Miss Me? podcast, clearing up the speculation – and revealing even family members had believed it, sending her upsetting messages in the process after 'not being invited'. She told Miquita: 'We've been engaged for a long time. There are … I think there have been publications that have named us husband and wife already.' 'Those text messages were very … there's some toxic paragraphs that were thrown my way!,' she added. 'Like 'uh, okay, no invite? Whatever.' It's like, no, no, no. It didn't happen! We didn't do it in secret. We haven't eloped.' Despite the pair not making it official, Zawe did note that the pair do call each other husband and wife, which may have been where the confusion came from. She added: 'It's just a semantics thing. I think at some point you're like 'girlfriend, boyfriend' … with a kid and another one on the way? Does that feel right?' Zawe – who first shot to fame on Channel 4 sitcom Fresh Meat in the early 2000s – added that for some reason it 'p***ed off married couples' that they call each other husband and wife without actually getting married. Tom and Zawe have been running in similar social circles throughout their career, and were first photographed at a friendly event in 2018 celebrating the career of Harold Pinter. Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton discuss their roles in hit Harold Pinter play Betrayal Shortly after, the pair were cast alongside each other in a play by the same famed playwright, Betrayal, portraying husband and wife Robert and Emma. After a West End run in 2019, the show was transferred to Broadway, with the pair reprising their roles – during that time, it was noted they had got close. They finally went public with their first official outing as a couple at the Tony Awards in 2021. Since then, Zawe joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Marvels' villain Dar-Benn. Tom famously plays Loki within the same film world, though their characters have never crossed on screen. 5 5 5

Carol Kirkwood, 63, admits she only spends 90 minutes a day with new husband Steve, 49, and opens up about the 'heartbreak' of not having children
Carol Kirkwood has admitted she only spends around 90 minutes a day with her husband Steve Randall due to the pair's busy schedules. The TV star, 63, has to be at the BBC studio in Salford Quays for 4am each day while her husband Steve is a police officer and also works antisocial hours. Speaking candidly in an interview with OK Magazine, she explained: 'We don't see a lot of each other during the week. 'We worked out that Monday to Thursday we only see each other for an hour-and-a-half a day, so we treasure the time that we have together. It's really precious.' She joked it will be a shock when the pair retire and will be able to spend limitless time together. After meeting at a work function in 2021, the couple became friends before their relationship blossomed into a romance. The pair tied the knot in December 2023 - nine years after her divorce from property developer Jimmy Kirkwood, who she had been married to for 25 years. And Carol also opened up about making peace with not having children, despite admitting it was once her 'dream' and she explored fertility treatments. 'I always wanted to have children. That was my dream. It was a source of heartbreak, but we tried and failed.' Last month Carol confessed there is 'no such thing as a perfect romance' after revealing she plans to retire in two years and her and travel Europe with her husband. Opening up about her divorce to the Daily Mirror she said: 'I feel sad when relationships break down. I was married before, and we got divorced, and it's always sad when that happens. 'But, of course, there isn't such a thing, I don't think, as the perfect romance - where you're never going to fall out or have cross words. Of course you are, that's life.' The TV star has been a fixture at the BBC for 27 years but has said she is planning a change of scene for her and Steve when she turns 65. Discussing her retirement hopes, Carol, who is also a published author, said: 'We fell in love with Majorca, which is where we went so I could research my fifth novel, Meet Me at Sunset, about a woman running away from a shattered love affair. 'Steve and I plan to escape and travel for some time when we retire, perhaps in a year or two. 'We'll travel in a camper van or get in the car, cross over to France and then just drive.' Carol, from Morar, Lochaber, was married to property developer Jimmy but the pair split in 2008 after 18 years of marriage, with the divorce finalised in 2012. She recently made a cheeky comment when asked about her second marriage, telling one newspaper: 'Love is lovelier the second time around. No disrespect to my first husband, but this is better.' The TV star also spoke about the age gap in her relationship, stating it makes no difference to her. She told Saga Magazine: 'Steve is 50 this year. Other people's opinions about an age gap don't matter - I don't feel he is younger than me.' She also said she believes that meeting him was fate. She said: 'We were at a function neither of us wanted to go to. It was a Sliding Doors moment - if I hadn't gone, we would never have met.'
