Generating a positive reaction from avid Netflix viewers and lovers of hip-hop, the Get Down is back for a six-episode part two starring its original cast.

“By enlisting the knowledge of people who were actually present, this series gives viewers an inside look at how hip-hop came to be what it is today. Because the culture that surrounds the music is so relevant today, it is great to watch a show that details just how a lot of these norms came to fruition,” as said by Rebecah Jacobs from VH1. Surely, we can accredit even the attitudes of this generation to music and its decades overall, but hip-hop especially.

Lead actor Justice Smith, who happens to be an Anaheim local and attended the Orange County School of Arts (OCSA), is portrayed as a relatable teen struggling with his identity in a colorful yet discouraging society. His poetic talents are taken further in part two as more influencing factors come into play.

In an honest review from GQ Magazine, “Justice Smith, as Books, is a particular strength, carrying an unevenly written character arc with naked conviction that’s moving in spite of some of the writing. The rest of the cast is incredible, too—Shameik Moore (Shaolin Fantastic) deserves to be a huge star, and fresher faces like Herizen F. Guardiola (who plays Mylene Cruz) and Skylan Brooks (who plays the baby-faced Ra-Ra) are a damn delight to watch, killing it alongside more familiar supporting players like Jimmy Smits and Kevin Corrigan.”
