Go To

The third episode of The Get Down.


Tropes:

  • Dance of Romance: Cisco and Lydia share one in his office during the blackout.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: We get a hint from Shao here that his parents died in a fire, making him an orphan and explaining why he was so shook up the night his crib burned.
  • Jaded Washout: Jackie talks about his past (multiple grammies, a history of wealth) and his present (worthless junkie whose name is mud in the industry).
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Roy Asheton delivers a thorough and epic one to Jackie, spelling out all the reasons absolutely no one will work with him.
