    Shallow

    I'm not a huge fan of eighties music; but that's not the main reason I'm not a huge fan of Dylan Jones's series, arguing the contrary. The problem with the series is less its thesis, but more its lack of substance; a fairly banal documentary is followed by three programs of video clips, supported by inane captions that do nothing to illuminate. It's a nostalgia trip, filtered through the simple mindset that everything was great. There are surely countless interesting stories putting particular musical trends into their social and musicological contexts; instead we get a fairly vacuous celebration of pop culture. Count me out.
