5 Reasons You Should Be Watching Mozart in the Jungle

Lola Kirke is slowly but surely becoming known for much more than being Girls star Jemima Kirke's little sister. She's had roles in Gone Girl and Mistress America, but it's in Mozart in the Jungle that the actress has a real opportunity to shine. Her character, Hailey, is a young oboist struggling to find gigs throughout the city, until the Maestro takes a chance on her and hires her as his assistant. Between the hilarious interactions she has with Rodrigo and the joy we feel for her when she finally gets a chance to stick it to a mean, older oboist in the symphony, Hailey perfectly epitomizes what it feels like to be growing up, vulnerable, and unsure of yourself.
