The multi-talented Baz Luhrmann and a team of collaborators -- Oscar-winner Catherine Martin, legendary MC Nas, Grandmaster Flash, Pulitzer-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, and hip-hop historian Nelson George -- have created a music-driven drama that documents the emergence of a new art form. Set in the late 1970s, when New York was at the brink of bankruptcy and disco was dying out, the rise of hip-hop is told through the lives, art, music and dance of a group of young people in the South Bronx.

Critics Consensus

The Get Down continues to be a dazzling kaleidoscope of genre styles and a warm celebration of hip-hop's origins, although its constant shift in tone could prove unwieldy for some viewers.

It's a fascinating subject told with vibrancy on every level, and the production deserves immense respect for the artistry packed into these episodes, rather than simply being saddled with the "troubled" label. Go to Full Review Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic 04/13/2017
This is fair: The show wasn't, and isn't, great. Go to Full Review Dan Caffrey AV Club 04/11/2017

The Get Down could be positioning itself as a document of the evolution of hip-hop-fabulist or not. Go to Full Review Meghan O'Keefe Decider 12/20/2017
It stretches the modern TV season past its normal limits. It doesn't fit the mold and it doesn't feel familiar. It does feel like like something glorious, though. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 11/28/2017
7.8/10
For all the show's bluster, you care about the characters and their individual journeys... Go to Full Review Joshua Rivera GQ 11/28/2017
It's... tonally, all over the place, with animated interludes, bangin' club scenes, heavy drama, and a Inferno-esque descent into madness that you will not see coming. But it's all worth it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more 10/27/2017 My Review of "The Get Down" in Verse: poetic, romantic, funky, and fresh. baz luhrman at his best, with the origin of hip hop from the street as the backdrop, blending music (from gospel to Latin to disco to rap), break dance, and street art. but what gives it the most weight is it's cry for justice and heart.
