High Fidelity
What's it about
Have you ever replayed your past relationships like a mixtape, trying to figure out where it all went wrong? For Rob Fleming, the perpetually adolescent owner of a London record shop, this isn't just a thought experiment—it's a mission to understand his own romantic failures. Join Rob as he revisits his "desert-island, top-five" breakups, seeking answers from his ex-girlfriends. You'll explore the hilarious and heartbreaking intersection of pop culture, commitment-phobia, and the male psyche, and discover why we obsess over the past instead of building a future.
