‘The Get Down’: Part Two
The Get Down, Baz Luhrmann and Stephen Adly Guirgis’s epic take on the grime and grandeur of 1970s hip hop, has finally returned to Netflix. Part Two meets up with The Get Down Brothers a year later, where they are all older, but not necessarily wiser. Mylene’s now a disco goddess, Shaolin is a hardcore drug dealer, and Books is still torn between his life on the streets and a possible future in a Manhattan high-rise. This electric series is lush and experimental – and, yes, you can jump into Part Two without catching up on Part One (though it still makes for a fantastic binge).
