Brilliant TV series from an acclaimed film director
The Get Down is a Netflix original web series that became available for streaming on Netflix on August 12, 2016. It’s an American musical drama television series that was created by Shawn Ryan (Mad Dogs, The Chicago Code), directed by acclaimed Australian director Baz Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!) and hails from the Sony Pictures Television production studio. The series is executive produced by Stephen Adly Guirgis, Marney Hochman, Thomas Kelly, Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martin, Shawn Ryan and Paul Watters.
Storyline and cast
Baz Luhrmann calls the new TV show "saga of the 1970s New York”. The story focuses on punks from the South Bronx who have launched a musical revolution that has spread beyond the city to the rest of the world. For Luhrmann, New York of the 70s is not the best place on earth, where people are burdened by financial difficulties, gloomy and bitter. At that time, Bronx teens begin changing the musical landscape of the city. They literally take the city by storm, armed only with spray paint, loud slogans and spontaneous dancing. They are slowly moving from the slums where they grew up to the bohemian Manhattan, conquering the area around the newly erected twin towers of the World Trade Center and trendy clubs Studio 54 and CBGB. The Get Down is essentially a chronicle of how during the time of national bankruptcy a new musical culture was born: disco, hip-hop and punk. The new drama series stars Jaden Smith, Shameik Moore, Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Justice Smith, Herizen Guardiola, Skylan Brooks (Southpaw), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and more.
Second season and renewal potential
A 6-episode debut season of The Get Down came out on Netflix on Friday, August 12, 2016 at 12:01am PST. The second season, subtitled as “Part 2” was released worldwide on April 7, 2017 and consisted of 5 episodes. The musical drama boasts a very high approval score of 8.5 out of 10 on IMDb and has been also critically acclaimed since its launch, scoring 4 award nominations and winning 2016 African-American Film Critics Association Award. According to the award-winning director Luhrmann himself, he has been working on this ambitious project for 10 years now. This is Baz’s first musical drama project since the release of his critically-acclaimed feature film Moulin Rouge back in 2001. The first two seasons took place in 1977 and 1978, respectively, so as Netflix is yet to make its call about Season 3 of The Get Down, we are surely hoping to be transported to 1979 soon.
