Netflix Series “The Get Down” Cancelled

the get down

Netflix’s hit phenomenon show, cancelled after one season. 

Earlier today it was announced that the Netflix Original: The Get Down will not be returning for a second season. Despite the amounts of buzz the show received, it just could not get the viewers it so longingly needed and not to mention the costly budget it was building up. It’s hard to believe that the show is getting cancelled after it just touched the surface of such important issues such as: Hip-hop culture, representation of LGBT in the 1970’s, and overall representation of  the Black and Latino community.

The news took all social media platforms by a storm, leaving a lot of people upset. Many feel like the show didn’t get it’s fair advertising and marketing to even make a investment from the jump. Others are taking a stand against the argument of it’s sister show “13 Reasons Why” having more story line than “The Get Down” considering it is being renewed for it’s second season. Whatever the case may be, the world’s sad to see you go The Get Down.

Do you think that the show had it’s fair chance at the spotlight? Or do you think that this was a smart decision to let the show go?
