Who's down with The Get Down?

I think the show's biggest problem is Jaden Smith IMO. It was evident he wasn't available for much of filming part 2, and his character is annoying and a side plot at best. Would have been better to recast someone that could have been there full time or just eliminate that aspect of the plot entirely.

I haven't seen the show, but I'm going to assume that you could've just stopped after "the biggest problem is Jaden Smith". I've seen him in a handful of things and nothing I've seen so far at all will convince me that he actually has the talent to be a serious actor at all. His dad is just so incredibly hell-bent on giving him the star-studded, multi-million dollar career that he himself enjoyed that he is pretty much forcing Jaden into any production he can get him into.

I like his character, actually. Smith's performance doesn't stand out either way, imo.

Damn it. Now I want to watch just to judge for myself. Like arguing over Pirlo and formations isn't enough.
 
LOL forgot about that completely!

And I also want to apologize to Midas Mulligan Midas Mulligan for hijacking this thread. But also, it's clear now why my work productivity's gone way down the past three years or so.

Don't worry, I created a new thread just for this. I'm curious what we come up with. My money is on the stadium tho ;)
