Negrogaf, what's the verdict on 'The Get Down'? Anybody been watching it?

Only watched the first episode since I had to get to work. I enjoyed it. Visually great, strong premier. My twitter feed's been saying the 5 following are not as great, so I can't say just yet, not with any confidence.
 
The New Yorker gets one right:

All these images are from St. Augustine, FL in '64:



The infamous guy pouring the acid in the segregated swimming pool back in 64 died in 07 & his obituary in the paper refers to him as "something of a victim." One of his lifelong friends says "he was really a nice guy, who just did something foolish")

Shortly after the acid pouring incident, a Black girl & a White nun tried a protest swim at a segregated beach but go jumped & beaten by a mob.

Then Black folks tried the shit again, but with a phalanx of cops protecting them
