I love this movie so much

Thanks for the memories!

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This show is the best show I seen in a while. It's amazing the way the creator and all made everything come together, from the music, to the history and art, to life in the south Bronx during that time period. Also I like how it told a story while expressing the music art history facts of the time. The love story came alive in this series perfectly around all the chaos and craziness going on in the big city lights. I come from a big city and I can relate to being a young black kid growing up in the city. So throughout most of the show I can see myself in the young ones finding their way, especially Zeke.

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.

This show has been a revelation for me the past year, they have been the best six and a half hour of TV for me in a long time. I feel it did not get that much attention because I heard no one talking about it in my friend group or online. First this show is about music, and good one at that. The tracklist is outstanding and the originals created for the show are equally impressive, the blend of disco and hip-hop works so well on so many levels. I love how the whole relation between Zeke and Mylene revolves around music as well. First the 'Pakkousa' and later on Mylene's song. It feels all very natural and sincere. In the words of Grand Master Flash 'It's the music Grasshopper, that burning fire beating within your hart'. Furthermore I want a quick shout out to 'Cadillac', his dancing was insane, I really hope to see more of him later on. Second this story has good writing and some great characters to accompany it. Jackie Moreno is exactly how I imagined a producer active in that scene back in the day. The scene between dj Malibu, Shaolin and Zeke is one of the funniest scenes ever. I also like the fact that they have included historical events into the story like the 'Night that the lights went out in NYC'. It really helps progress the story in a natural way. Visually the show is very impressive as well. I love how they managed to make it such a colourful display despite the fact that New York was pretty grim back then. If you have any affiliation with music I really recommend watching this show, you won't regret it.

This series is awesome. I happen to stumble upon it by searching through Netflix. If you are a lover of music, hip hop, and rap. You will love this! I think the last episode in season one was epic! I hope this series gets exposed more. The only draw back is that I wish they would cut down on the foul language. Can't wait for seasons 2, 3, 4, 5 etc... and for those that give this series a bad review, you don't know true hip hop, and the soul of music. This type of passion has to be in your bones. The crew they chose are perfect and I am loving Justice Smith (he is perfect for role). Shameik Moore is awesome too. However, I felt like the last episode allowed the whole crew to shine which was awesome. I love to watch movies that provide history behind it and this series does a great job doing that. I hope this series gets more recognition because it is truly great.
