The Get Down • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Autostraddle
Ari
This is a story centered around poor Black and Latinx communities, their struggles with institutional abandonment, and their journeys to self-love and empowerment. We don't see that and I want more.
TheWrap
Carli Velocci
The Baz Luhrmann Netflix series about the rise of hip-hop contains great music and set pieces that make it easy to binge-watch and enjoy.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
[Baz] Luhrmann zeroes in on the universal elements of humanity while leaning heavily on the knowledge of producers Grandmaster Flash, George and Nas to stitch everything together.
Pitchfork
Judy Berman
A coming-of-age drama anchored in the late '70s Bronx hip-hop and disco scenes, "The Get Down" has a deep respect for the innovations it's portraying-and the pioneers responsible for those breakthroughs...
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
While the rest of The Get Down struggles to find its footing outside the performances, Dizzee is a refreshing character to see.
Washington Post
Alyssa Rosenberg
At a moment when I've found myself feeling irritated, even tired by a lot of what's on television and in the movies, Luhrmann's vision of New York City in the sweltering summer of 1977 is one of the few places I've wanted to linger in a very long time.
New York Post
For those who survived '70s-era New York, it offers an exciting trip down memory lane. Those too young to remember will be enthralled with the show's energy and talent - and with Luhrmann's drive to resurrect a lost world and make it beautiful again.
AV Club
Dan Caffrey
The show's heavies are so cartoonish that it saps the dramatic weight out of their misdeeds.
RedEye
Lorraine Ali
The Get Down has plenty of problems: pacing, messy story lines and stiff acting by new faces. But when it comes to capturing the spirit and essence of a critical era in music's evolution, it works where Vinyl and Roadies did not.
The New Yorker
Emily Nussbaum
It would be cool if The Get Down evolved into some messy stealth masterpiece, its many mismatched octopus arms thrashing toward something tremendous. Six episodes in, outsized ambition isn't enough. As the Magic 8 Ball says, "Ask again later."
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
In general, the more The Get Down trusts in its actors to carry the meaning of a moment or scene, the better it is.
Newsday
Verne Gay
A broad sprawling entertainment, occasionally marred by jarring (or warring) styles.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
While things never exactly calm down in The Get Down... it does settle down - and the appeal of its mostly young cast and music-driven story steps up.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
There's rarely been a better argument for auteur-driven television than The Get Down.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Too much of the series feels dictated by the setup and pay-off rules of popular storytelling.
Entertainment Weekly
Jeff Jensen
With more consistently winning style and substance, The Get Down could be deeply groovy.
AV Club
Joshua Alston
If episodes of Orange Is The New Black are like potato chips, episodes of The Get Down are more like Cadbury Creme Eggs -- a cloying, excessive assault on the senses best enjoyed no more than once a year.
New York Times
Mike Hale
[Luhrmann] can get us excited with his manipulations of image and music, but he doesn't create people or stories interesting enough to give those feelings any focus.
Collider
Allison Keene
Buried within it are great moments just about teenagers in the summertime, finding beauty in the rubble, and creating music that finally speaks to who they are. But these are small kernels of truth in an otherwise messy spectacle.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Like all else on the director's highly aestheticized screen, down to the last carefully placed cockroach and only seemingly out-of-place hair, [the actors] have the look. But the acting is very fine all around, as well.
