Netflix: The Get Down

Here is how the New York Time's describes Netflix's new series The Get Down, which premieres tonight;

In actuality, though, "The Get Down" is more like a secret superhero story, one with black and brown teenagers as the heroes. Using extravagant camerawork and technical tricks that present the protagonists as larger than life, “The Get Down” takes a period and place that’s often approached with dutiful naturalism and sobriety about difficult circumstances and infuses it with light touches of magical realism and bursts of palpable otherworldly joy.

Here is a trailer for you to decide if it is "magical" with its "secret superheroes."

You can see the first six episodes tonight, and more should follow. That had better be the case since Netflix is said to have spent $120 million on the series.
