Netflix's six-part limited series with 100% rating fans forget exists

Released a couple of years ago, the Netflix series is still going under the radar The Playlist Netflix trailer Netflix viewers are only now rediscovering a forgotten treasure that holds a flawless Rotten Tomatoes rating. ‌ The Playlist is a limited series billed as a docudrama which chronicles a fictionalised account of how music streaming giant Spotify came to be. The show draws inspiration from the book Spotify Untold. ‌ Spanning six episodes, The Playlist centres on young Swedish tech innovator Daniel Ek and his crucial collaborators who transformed an entire industry by providing free and legitimate streamed music globally. ‌ The synopsis describes it as a tale of how unwavering beliefs, relentless determination, opportunity and ambitious visions can enable underdogs to disrupt established norms by revolutionising how we all experience music. Despite debuting on the streaming platform in 2022, it appears countless Netflix users have overlooked its presence. This oversight seems peculiar given its perfect 100% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, reports the Mirror. ‌ One reviewer proclaimed the series establishes fresh benchmarks for its category, stating: "The Playlist is near perfect. The mini-series sets the bar high for all biographical dramas to come after it. Particularly because it captures the ills of the tech industry, the joy, the fallout, and the many many people that all go into one success..." A critic from The Guardian hinted that the series finale alone makes it binge-worthy, writing: "One thing I won't spoil is how the series ends. This is because it is incredibly, brain-breakingly weird, and anyone who sits through all six hours of The Playlist deserves to feel the same jolting discomfort that I did." Conversely, another review, bestowing a full five stars, praised the series effusively: "The Playlist is 2022's best drama. The scripts are sharp, pacey, funny and cleverly structured to provide each key player in the story with a voice. The performances are great without straying into bluster or scenery chewing, and there's a constant motion in the narrative that keeps you utterly captivated. Do not skip this one." ‌ Netflix users who have discovered the show also speak highly of it, suggesting it's a limited series perfect for an evening's viewing. One viewer shared their enthusiasm online, saying: "Riveting enough to be a definite binge watch." ‌ Echoing this sentiment, another wrote: "Really great series. Enjoyed it and binge watched it in one evening. I also like the idea of how they built the episodes logically to make the whole story." Adding to the chorus of approval, another person posted: "The way they showed how the journey of each individual played into the plot was very impressive. A 10/10 absolute binge worthy." Another individual commented: "Highly gripping and inspiring. True reflection of today's startup culture. Loved it!". The Playlist is streaming on Netflix.

'Panama Playlists' leak exposes JD Vance's love for boy bands

Ever wonder what tune US Vice President JD Vance is listening to when he's coming up with brilliant ideas for governing? 'Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe, You don't know oh-oh, You don't know you're beautiful oh-oh, That's what makes you beautiful…' That's right, Vance is apparently a big fan of One Direction and other boy bands. Eight years after the Panama Papers leaked 11.5million financial documents of offshore bank accounts, the Panama Playlists have surfaced. The Panama Playlists, claiming to expose the favourite music of politicians, celebrities and other public figures on Spotify, may not be too damaging to the individuals. But it could be embarrassing – that is, only if loving boy bands is something to be ashamed of. Featured on Vance's playlists are 'What Makes You Beautiful' by the 2010s pop band One Direction, 'I Want It That Way' by the 1990s band Backstreet Boys, and 'One Time' by Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, according to the Panama Playlists. Vance also really seems to really like 'Get Lucky' by the electronic music duo Daft Punk, 'You Are a Tourist' by '90s rock band Death Cab for Cutie, and 'San Francisco' by alternative rock band The Mowgli's, and has them in two of his playlists named 'Making Dinner' and 'Gold On The Ceiling'. The anonymous person behind the playlists claims to have been scraping the public figures' accounts since summer 2024, and know what songs they've played and how many times as well as their live listening feed. 'I found the real Spotify accounts of celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Many use their real names. With a little sleuthing, I could say with near-certainty: yep, this is them,' states the Panama Playlists website. 'Heard of the Panama Papers? That exposed offshore bank accounts. This is about onshore vibes.' The site, which quietly went live on July 30, is not affiliated with Spotify or any of the individuals analysed. Spotify playlists in their default setting are public, for those who did not know, and only public information was gleaned for the Panama Playlists. Its eagle-eared researcher is convinced that the figures listed on the site are who they are, due to 'lots of signals', and provided the US attorney general and White House press secretary as cases in point. 'An example is Pam Bondi. Her longtime partner is John Wakefield, and her profile has an old playlist called 'john' and an old shared playlist with a user named 'John Wakefield,' so that gives me a lot of confidence it is her account,' the researcher told the New York Post. 'Karoline Leavitt's profile has a playlist called 'Baby Shower,' and she had a baby a month after the playlist was made.' Below are the Panama Playlists of a handful of individuals highlighted on the site – ranked somewhat in order of how interesting they are. US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who leads the Justice Department, has a self-titled playlist filled with Top 40 hits including Nelly's 'Hot In Herre', Adele's 'Hello', Selena Gomez's 'Kill Em With Kindness', 'Hands To Myself', Black Eyed Peas' 'I Gotta Feeling', Mike Posner's 'Cooler Than Me', and USHER, Lil Jon and Ludacris' 'YEAH!' Trump's White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has a 'Baby Shower' poppy playlist that includes Beyoncé's 'Run the World (Girls)', Shaboozey's 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)', Lee Ann Womack's 'I Hope You Dance', Meghan Trainor's 'Mom' and Aretha Franklin's 'Respect'. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's 'My Shazam Tracks' playlist is a mixed bag including Dixon Dallas' 'Good Lookin', RÜFÜS DU SOL's 'Until the Sun Needs To Rise', David Guetta and OneRepublic's 'I Don't Wanna Wait', and Missy Elliot's 'Get Ur Freak On'. Disgraced FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has a mix of R&B, electronic and indie music in his 'loud' and 'soft' playlists including The Weeknd's 'Save Your Tears', Sia's 'Unstoppable', Bon Iver's 'Blindsided' and Frank Ocean's 'Bad Religion'. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in his 'Hodge-podge mix' playlist has some classics including Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire', Billy Joel's 'Piano Man', and a-ha's 'Take On Me', and a curveball – Miley Cyrus' 'Party In the U.S.A.' New York Times privacy and technology reporter Kashmir Hill's 'writing music' playlist features a handful of respected European artists including Mogwai ('Wake Up and Go Berserk' and 'I Do Have Weapons'), Aphex Twin ('Avril 14th'), and Nils Frahm ('Some'). Comedian and TV host Seth Meyers' 'Porch Jams' playlist suggest he's partial to soft rock with Benji Hughes' 'Vibe so Hot', Jackson Browne's 'The Fuse', and Lucinda Williams' 'Can't Let Go'. Meta's chief AI officer Alexandr Wang is a fan of country and folk, with his top songs being Tyler Childers' 'Feathered Indians', Jack Van Cleaf and Zach Bryan's 'Rattlesnake', and Zach Bryan's 'Blue Jean Baby'.

Netflix hidden gem with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score fans forgot existed

It was influenced by the book Spotify Untold. ‌ Comprised of six episodes, The Playlist focuses around the young Swedish tech entrepreneur, Daniel Ek, and his key partners who revolutionised a whole industry by offering free and legal streamed music around the world. ‌ According to the synopsis, it is a story about how hard convictions, unrelenting will, access and big dreams can help small players challenge the status quo by evolving the way we can all listen to music.

" Meanwhile, a different review, awarding five stars declared that the series "has no right to be this good." Before adding: "The Playlist is 2022's best drama.

The performances are great without straying into bluster or scenery chewing, and there's a constant motion in the narrative that keeps you utterly captivated.
