Just finished the first 6 parts of this- outstanding. If you love disco, hip hop or in fact if you are any type of music lover then this is a must

Gave it a go, but despite my love for funk and hip hop, really not enjoying it. The main female lead is fire though.

Made it ten minutes in and won't waste any more of my precious and valuable time with it.

You need to stick with it. The first episode jumps about but once it starts introducing Grandmaster flash it is GREAT.

Considering the budget ($7.5m per episode - and still ran over) and Baz Luhrmann's previous work, I expected it to be excellent. As it was, I thought it was one of the most poorly-written and sloppily-produced TV shows I've watched in a long, long time.

It's a no from me.
