The Get Down (2016)
Part Two of "The Get Down" picks up in 1978, one year after the events of Part One. The sweeping upheaval of late 70s New York City finds an as-yet-unnamed new pop cultural force striking a new beat in the Bronx, while disco still reigns supreme. Our young lovers Books and Mylene are caught in the swirl of a looming cultural revolution destined to change everything about their world -- but they have this moment to make their mark. Amidst the backdrop of a bankrupt New York City, ruthless gangsters and money-hungry record label bosses, they discover it's only their creativity and love that will carry them through -- and that they'll sacrifice everything for their music, and each other.

    A new series, with the potential of becoming a cult classic
    This series has everything you have been asking for. Music, drama, love, bromance, (even some action) and music. Lots of great music. Really great music.

    You might be thinking that because you were not alive at that time or you didn't leave anywhere near the Bronx, you might not understand it. But i lived all my life in Argentina, and i was born on 1999 and i have really adored it. The scriptwriters understand their job perfectly.

    The speed on storytelling is plainly delightful, and the story itself makes you suffer and wonder a lot. Its awesome. And lots of fun. Lots.

    Please watch it, we need more series like that on Netflix. We deserve, as a society, good entertaining quality shows like this.

    I hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
