The Get Down Audience Reviews

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
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.
admin-97415 I am a fifty-something, white, middle class English guy who had a particular dislike for hip hop in my teens and twenties. So I would have assumed this was not for me, the only reason I watched the first episode was only because I read that the show cost over $120 million to produce, so I figured I should take a look. I in no way fit the demographic I would have assumed this show was aimed at, but excellent writing, a wonderful ensemble cast, and a slightly strange production style, not to mention a fantastic soundtrack, make this a show that everyone should try.
phantom_11 Here's my review of The Get Down. It won't take long, it's written here in rhyme, like a little rap song:This here's a story bout The Get Down show, A Netflix series that you oughta know. It's all about life in 77. Rappin and dreamin bout disco heaven. It's set in the Bronx of old New York. And was co-created by that Baz Luhrmann dork. It has a cool message, so check it out, I don't wanna spoil it, so this is all I'll shout. Check out the show any way that you can. Then come back here and say thank you man. Imma go now before this gets psyche. Thank you for reading, boom, drop the mic!the end of the review, but not of the show, it's comin back round for another go, part two will drop in 2017, floatin and flyin on your TV screen, so go catch the first part, it's available now, catch it any where, somewhere, somehow. This was my rhyme and my little review, now don't just sit there, go watch it, shoo!
102030 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.
