reception

“Mind reading, but as a musical: The new, colorful TV series“ Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist ”transforms thoughts into sing-along music - and sometimes takes them a little too literally. You still hum along. "

- Anja Rützel : The mirror

l

“So Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is by no means a masterpiece of serial art. But if you choose the culture that you consume in Corona times, especially according to its potential for escapism (and who should be blamed for that?), You are still in the right place. "

- Luise Checchin : Süddeutsche Zeitung
