So I just finished "The Get Down" and I REALLY liked it. I dunno why, but the whole time watching it, I got this sense of...I guess "familiarity"? I didn't grow up in the 70s (because I'm not old as fuck), nor did I grow up in the inner city, but I think just seeing an overwhelmingly black/hispanic cast really just made me feel comfortable. It really highlighted how little of those exist in the media. Obviously it was something I realized, but I think I've just gotten so conditioned to see minorities literally be minorities in casts that it never felt odd until I saw it get flipped. Anyway, I definitely recommend it!
