Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

rebeca andrei If you're ready for a gripping story that elegantly combines poetry, suspense, music and romance, get ready! You're in for a treat! The burning Bronx is not only burning because people want to collect the insurance money but is also burning with hope: for music, poetry and the prospect of changing the world for the better. The series is a merry go round that visits various themes:honour, loyalty, love,sisterhood and brotherhood. But this ain't no sugar coated story! In the Bronx, there seems to be no hope left. People are facing a lot of demons: poverty, drug addiction, getting involved with the wrong people and some lack the support for succeeding. But, as the message written on the trains say: Where there is ruin, there is hope and if you raise your words, not your voice then things change. Even if they don't change for the apparent eye, all the characters change, and so the eyes through which they see the world...The well crafted story telling reveals characters that seem so real you could feel their breath, is masterfully spiced up by the poetry and the music.

Apocs The series capture you with individual doses of: musically revolutions, political turmoil, a part of New York almost turned to nothing but rubble during the worst depression since the 1920. And the people, oh, yes beautiful portraits of people with and without jobs, belief in a future, hope, talent and sense of community. The music just blows you away, regardless of age or if you were there, or in any other part of the world, ties the whole series together. Those who in the 1970's were in school, young adult or adult ( adulthood, that's a matter of opinion if you not are an statistical "¤#%/"%¤, that is ) will have shivers going up and down their spines by the series creators masterful way to light up your own "rearwiev mirror". And the young of today will have a brutal lesson in the fact that history isn't just a dull subject in school, it's about people that lived a while back, with the same dreams, struggles, different opinions, not at least when it comes to music, that them selves are going thru right now and themselves will be history in a few years, talking to their kids and get the reply : You do not understand how it is today....... So turn of you smartphones, iPad's and/or PC's..... collect the entire family in the sofa... and love every minute of the show together. The only ones who can have any negative to say about this series after that are the shrinks who suddenly will loose 95% of the "parents/kids", "Nothing changes" , "It was better back in the days" clients......

hey-liz This show is a breath of fresh air: beautiful and inspirational. It's about art, friendship, love, fighting for your dreams and finding your freedom. There are some great characters, portrayed by a talented cast. You'll end up with lots of favorites! The show is lively, colorful, warmhearted and with non stop fun and good music. It really has the potential to become a classic. Please do yourself a favor and go watch The Get Down immediately.I enjoyed every minute of the show and I can't wait for part 2.
