Clocking in at an excessive 92 minutes, the series premiere of Baz Luhrmann’s The Get Downis beautifully messy and requires a lot of patience to get through.

The Get Down concludes part 1 of its first season with a reflection on power. “Raise Your Words, Not Your Voice” begins with three examinations of how power is wielded in the show’s boldly colorful — and at times, trippy — world. Let’s start with Zeke’s dinner with Mr. Gunns. He shows up at the house on time (thank god) and meets Herbert’s rebellio...
