Spencer Kornhaber The Atlantic 06/11/2020
In questions like these lie the tensions that make Rhythm + Flow irresistible, even as the rap competition recycles American Idol's clichés. Go to Full Review Carl Wilson Slate 06/11/2020
That the show is still a load of fun is the exact miracle that hip-hop, like most forms of black American pop before it, was always tooled to accomplish. Go to Full Review Troy Patterson The New Yorker 11/02/2019
Despite the show's seductive glamour and the steady focus on the prize money, it celebrates music and images on the right-minded tip. Go to Full Review Ryan Feyre The Young Folks 06/11/2020
Netflix may have just found their hidden gem with Rhythm & Flow -- the newest, and maybe most delightful rap reality show ever. It's funny, charming, socially conscious, and surprisingly well-structured. Go to Full Review Lynda Cowell Digital Spy 06/11/2020
In comparison, shows like X Factor and The Voice have never looked so tired. Go to Full Review Clover Hope Jezebel 06/11/2020
More than Idol and X-Factor, Rhythm + Flow affirms how sacrificial a life in the music industry is, particularly the precariousness of rap as an outlet for black and brown people. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

letaiser 12/21/2024 Well the concept of the tv show is great and I have absolutely nothing against that, the judges and special guest also were pretty cool by how they got all these famous artists together but I would lie if I said that this wasnt one of the most boring things I have ever seen, they just drag the whole episode every time to an hour, I mean hopefully there are better changes in s2 but this definitely wasnt really a great watch, the Episodes with the music videos and concerts were the best ones, but especially the first episodes were like good and exciting for the first 10 minutes but absolutely boring for the next 40 to 50 minutes, but one thing which is pretty nice is that a lot of people with a really heartbreaking backstory could get a little bit success though the show.

See more Tiago S 06/27/2022 Um dos reality shows com grandes talentos, só acho que não vejo Cardi B como expert no assunto de rap, sendo que na época ela tinha uns 3 anos de sucesso apenas, mas tirando isso foi excelente.
