Like people have said, there's no white savior so people are upset.

I just finished and I loved it

I probably have more of an emotional attachment because I grew up in NYC in the 80's. Everyone knows about the graffiti on the train but inside the cars were completely covered in it. Little details like that hit me. In grammar school we all had Pilot markers and black books and practiced writing tags even though Ed Koch was hell bent on shutting down graf. Every kid was writing, practicing B-boying, writing rhymes, or trying to get DJ equipment. Hip hop was life then

The families eating together reminded me of living in the projects and going upstairs to break bread with the Afro Columbians or downstairs to eat with the Puerto Ricans. There was a lot more black & brown unity then there is today.

There were some great performances all around. Jimmy Smits was incredible. Giancarlo Esposito and him going at it. Mylene. Mrs. Cruz looked like a Rican Claire Huxtable. The whole crew at Les Inferno, especially Cadillac, did their thing. Shaolin Fantastic. The cast seemed to really be 100% into it.

There's a lot more I could get into but watching this and Stranger Things got me missing my childhood

8/10

Show makes me wish I grew up in that era, seems like a lot more fun overall.

Fun, yeah. You got to see and participate in hip hop growing first hand.

However the city was dangerous.

Just finished episode 2. I have to admit episode 1 was hard to get through. Mylene In that church

 

[Apex]

I wonder if they get more seasons if they going do a decade a season? Season 2 about the 80's season 3 about the 90's would be dope

This would be so tight.

[Bigbigguy]

So the actress that plays Mylene is actually Cuban & Jamaican

She's sexy but annoying as fukk.

The star of this show is Shaolin
