The Get Down (2016)
Mediocre
11 September 2023
I assume many reviewers have already used the let-down pun, but it's truly my sentiment. This show will betray you the moment you start liking it. The beginning draws you in but I have two main issues down the line. First, the show doesn't know whether to be a musical or a more gritty and 'real' story, Second, the plot slowly spirals out of control. Story lines and character actions stop making sense about half-way through. After a magical start viewers are left disenchanted by mediocre acting and a script that could have used a few more weeks in review. Typical 5 star show, with 10 points for the extravagant visuals and 1 point for substance.
