#the getdown

It’s always been there. I’ve posted it a few times as proof Zayn can do soul music. 🧐

It’s not on his artist page on spotify tho. You’re forgiven for not knowing about it and what a nice treat for you! 🥰

2. strong even when the writing isn't. I'm currently on the second and last season which is only 5 episodes, (the whole series is only 11 episode), so I hope we get a satisfying ending.

I’m trying to imagine a Baz Lurhman/kung fu movie now. I don’t think of him as gritty urban—what about Moulin Rouge or Gatsby? Do you mean a sort of frenetic energy? I expect his work to be a bit ott—it worked in R&J but not so much in GG. However I taught Gatsby for a few years and may be too critical. BL meets kung fu on the city streets? 🧐

In any event you have encouraged me to give it a go. I’m a big fan of Giancarlo Esposito from his role in Breaking Bad, and that you were engaged with the characters by the end of the pilot is very encouraging. Plus we already know BL does a great soundtrack. I’m in. Will try the pilot right now.

2. but also not goofy enough and the acting and writing isn't that great. I'm going to try and power through and hope it improves.

Hmm, I might try Julie. Sometimes I can watch a show that I know is objectively bad but still enjoy it because of my mood. Like The Unicorn on Netflix is really terrible, like so bad but not quite so bad it’s good, but I love Walter Goggin from Justified, one of my fav tv shows ever, and he’s all in on The Unicorn, trying so hard to make it work, that I think I’m pity watching. 🧐

This song’s gonna set so many people free.
