My wife and I have just started watching season 1. We have watched the first three episodes. We have certainly enjoyed these episodes. It seems very well engineered.
This series is clearly based on the Venezuelan conductor
Gustavo Dudamel. I was going to say loosely based but it is closer than that. There are many details that parody him closely, for instance he is always asking for "Blood."
He is the conductor and music director of the LA phil. He also maintains a close association with the Simon Bolivar Orchestra in Caracas.
