From the moment Cherise—brought to us ever-so passionately by Da’Vine Joy Randolph—glides into frame at the 17:57 mark of Hulu’s High Fidelity, episode one, it’s impossible to turn away. “What up, babies?” is how she greets Rob (short for Robyn, played by Zoë Kravitz) and Simon (David H.
Holmes), her cronies at Championship Records in Brooklyn. Her energy is infectious from that moment on and throughout the 10-episode Hulu series.
Along with her extensive knowledge of music and musicians, Cherise is a big dreamer with creative aspirations of her own. Oh, and we won’t even get into her unique brand of customer service.
