Can't you see what I could be? A possibility.

The Get Down – 2.5/5

It took me 7 years to finish this. The first half had the dazzle of Baz Luhrmann mixed with Hip Hop Family Tree, which is... a fun idea? The birth of a hip hop nation with the spiritual energy of 'Elvis.' It accelerates quickly, it catches fire, but then it just... gets smothered by its length. It sags like a heavy load, and you want it to explode.
