Afros, arson, glitterballs and gun shots: first look at Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series The Get Down
"You don't know what the f***ing Get Down is?"
Baz Luhrmann is bringing his opulent brilliance to the world of binge-watch TV. And if you've got no idea what to expect from the Romeo + Juliet, Great Gatsby and Moulin Rouge! director's first drama series, you're in luck.
The streaming service has just released a first glimpse of musical drama The Get Down – and it's basically three glorious minutes of afros, glitterballs, gun shots, fires, tears, incredible dance moves and amazing vocals.
Set in 1970s New York City, the series revolves around a ragtag crew of South Bronx teenagers who are wild in the streets — "nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them, except one another."
