amasmultimedia I loved this episode! The callback to 1990 Washington D.C. was amazing. That scene in the bar when the band started singing 'Sardines'. I almost booked a ticket to D.C. that night!
Tim Aucoin Being someone that grew up on 90's hip hop I jumped at the chance to watch a show about it, especially with Dj Premier producing the soundtrack. But this show is a let down; weak acting, bad dialogue, paper thin (and stereotypical) characters, a real missed opportunity all around. The only saving grace is hearing new Dj Premier beats.
Kurokami Miki The Breaks is a series about a group of friends who try to break into the hip-hop industry in the 1990s.Keep in mind that the first episode of this TV show has a recap, yep you heard it right the first episode has a recap and it seems that it recaps the movie which they consider it was the first episode, yep you typical garbage nothing new. Considering this show is made in 2016-2017 when people advocate for equal representation in TV shows it seems that the writers here did not get the memo but because it has 99% PoC in it they consider it diverse, no role model in this show either it's all about the gangsta and teaching future generations to be thugs, let me guess this one will not be canceled.Not worth the time.
