Just saw the pilot/1st episode
They even recreated the dangerous dirty 70s New York better than in Vinyl
No wonder it's Netflix most expensive show so far
A bit cheesy but at the same time not bad
As it has only six episodes I might watch the whole thing
Also I liked early rap quite a bit as a kid
In my book Hip hop was at its best when it wasnt called that that yet and basically was disco or funk music with some dude rappin over it
i didn´t forget - i just couldn´t remember...

I watched all the episodes and agree with all your observations.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
You should check the rest of the episodes out.
It was pretty fun although the last episode seemed a bit rushed to tie a few things up.
At Least I Don't Have The Clap.

That cat playing Grand Master Flash is a dead ringer, looks-wise.

Uncanny!

Yes.  Should have been longer/more episodes.

dont think so
i think it was a bit löng towards the end
still good though
very nicely made
they made the south bronx even looks more devastating then it probably actually was
liked the way they recreated the dj battle from the wild style movie too
