I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

With captivating heroes fighting for unity and real thug villains ruling the underworld, the Get Down tells the story of Hip Hop culture with all the fantasy that art can bring to real life. It hooks you up from every side and makes you respect and admire all the other warriors who want to make peace using the unstoppable flowing energy that circulates in our body and overflows to our creations. Anything is possible if we believe in it and work hard for it.

I binge watched the whole series after i discovered it.Time - It really makes you feel like it's happening in the 70's. The clothing, behavior, politics, haircuts, music, colorfulness.Space - It paints the pain and poverty that Bronx was going through. Yet at the same time it captures the rich culture that developed because people had no other choice but to connect to make it.Cast - The people cast are incredible, Shameik Moore as Shaolin Fantastic really did a great job at portraying a struggling artist that goes to great lengths to make his dream a reality.Directing - Buz Luhrmann really knows what he wants and how to get there, and he got there.The first season has 6 episodes, and it has everything people like in a series nowadays, but most of all it is authentic. And at its core is the importance of music.It's a good watch and i can't wait to see what the new season or the second half of it is going to bring.

It seems whatever show that comes out on Netflix has to be rated high and be watched because it is so "good" and interesting. I see this happen with all their shows when actually the show isn't that good to begin with. I feel that show lacks a sturdy and realistic story line. It is hard for me to get through episode to episode. That said I like shows like vikings and suits season 1-4, that tend have a much more exciting feel to the story. I like hip hop and I like drama but this show just blends the setting in way that makes me want to through up. Waste your time if you like this season is my last for this show and I am not giving it another shot.

This series has everything you have been asking for. Music, drama, love, bromance, (even some action) and music. Lots of great music. Really great music.You might be thinking that because you were not alive at that time or you didn't leave anywhere near the Bronx, you might not understand it. But i lived all my life in Argentina, and i was born on 1999 and i have really adored it. The scriptwriters understand their job perfectly.The speed on storytelling is plainly delightful, and the story itself makes you suffer and wonder a lot. Its awesome. And lots of fun. Lots.Please watch it, we need more series like that on Netflix. We deserve, as a society, good entertaining quality shows like this.I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
