Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

selem-14233 This show is the best show I seen in a while. It's amazing the way the creator and all made everything come together, from the music, to the history and art, to life in the south Bronx during that time period. Also I like how it told a story while expressing the music art history facts of the time. The love story came alive in this series perfectly around all the chaos and craziness going on in the big city lights. I come from a big city and I can relate to being a young black kid growing up in the city. So throughout most of the show I can see myself in the young ones finding their way, especially Zeke.

lashonwade I was instantly intrigued by the uniqueness of episode 1, with its super hero, comic book like feel given to Shaolin and his red pumas, and quickly fell in love with this series for its characterization, interjection of poetry, and the origination of hip hop plot and setting. I binge watched all episodes In one night. I am so looking forward to the next season! This is the best drama/hip hop opera/adventure/love story ever. The story line is raw, gritty at times, and thought provoking. The music is awesome with its original hip hop nature of storytelling, coupled with the poetry, graffiti art, and dancing, this is every type of artists' inspiration, and a cross generational master piece!

Coco Roberts This series is awesome. I happen to stumble upon it by searching through Netflix. If you are a lover of music, hip hop, and rap. You will love this! I think the last episode in season one was epic! I hope this series gets exposed more. The only draw back is that I wish they would cut down on the foul language. Can't wait for seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 etc... and for those that give this series a bad review, you don't know true hip hop, and the soul of music. This type of passion has to be in your bones. The crew they chose are perfect and I am loving Justice Smith (he is perfect for role). Shameik Moore is awesome too. However, I felt like the last episode allowed the whole crew to shine which was awesome. I love to watch movies that provide history behind it and this series does a great job doing that. I hope this series gets more recognition because it is truly great.

riveramac The Get Down is by far the most authentic representation of hip hop, the 70's, The Bronx culture, growing up in NY, growing up puerto rican, and the great music generated in NY. I grew up in the Bronx only blocks away from the famous 1520 Sedgwick Ave and this was like a real life time machine. The attention to detail, the birth of tagging, the south bronx burning. Just too much to cover. And all this before reviewing the acting, singing, music, and plot of this series. A fantastic cast who brought to life real life characters from the day. There is laughter, drama, despair, resurrection and love. Even if you do not know anything about Hip Hop or the Bronx, check out this series as you will not be disappointed. My favorite show on Netflix. Thank you Netflix!
