The first half of The Get Down's debut season received a muted response when it was released on Netflix in August of last year, with most of the conversation focusing on just how expensive the thing was.

Baz Luhrmann's exploration of street kids at the dawn of hip-hop in 1970s New York received mixed reviews for its first batch of six episodes, but will need to make a bigger splash second time around to justify the outlay. It's got a talented cast, and if nothing else will continue to look and sound great.
