Episode 1 is a masterpiece
Enjoyed it more than Stranger Things.
shareHere's a talk both Nelson George (one of the supervising producers on the show,and one of the first hip-hop historians himself) and director Baz Luhrmann gave about the show at the Tribeca Film Festival a couple of months before its debut. I appreciated the talk more now after having seen the show, and they both make it fun to watch with their clear enthusiasm for the show's material and for hip-hop itself. At one point, Catherine Martin, the show's award-winning costume designer/producer (who's also been an associate producer on all but one of Luhrmann's films, and he's also her spouse)takes the mic and talks about the creative/collaberative process and how it worked for TGD:
