New Netflix series,

Storyline

The Get Down focuses on 1970s New York City - broken down and beaten up, violent, cash strapped -- dying. Consigned to rubble, a rag-tag crew of South Bronx teenagers are nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them - except each other, armed only with verbal games, improvised dance steps, some magic markers and spray cans. From Bronx tenements, to the SoHo art scene; from CBGBs to Studio 54 and even the glass towers of the just-built World Trade Center, The Get Down is a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco -- told through the lives and music of the South Bronx kids who changed the city, and the world...forever. Written by Netflix

Youtube video

Just watched the first 6 episodes of this and it is really good! Netflix gave it a massive $120,000,000 budget for 12 episodes and you can see why it costs so much to make. The recreation of 1970s Ney York Bronx is unreal.

Part created by Baz Luhrmann it eally is a must watch for any music fan cant wait for the Next 6 episodes.

I'd heard a lot about this but mostly because of bands/artists I like being roped in to write a song for it I'll have to give it a look because it's seen as the ideal between "music fan" and "TV fan" that apparently Vinyl failed to nail.

Yep. They absolutely nailed it they manage to document it in a way that means it doesn't really matter what you are looking for i really cant see how anyone could not like it from Music nerd to corrie watcher. Its just bloody good watching (imo of course)
I barely even noticed Jaden Smith which was my only reservation going into it.
$10,000,000 an episode though wow thats more than Game of Thrones costs to make. They spent it well i hope it succeeds.
