Alright show for the most part, can ffw through slow parts(anything with the kids) which makes it tolerable. My big big issue with these throwback style shows like this and Stranger Things is they never get the 80's right especially the period in time they say it is, not my 80's. Such a weird mish mash of different eras during the decade. Clothes and style from say '82 then next scene stuff we didn't have or do until '89. Also would it hurt to use crt filter or a lower non progressive scan resolution to really give the 80's feel? Videogames do it so well now, Late Night With the Devil a perfect example of time period that feels like time period. Haircuts almost always look like wigs or a piece. Never were we so diverse either. Especially in the Midwest in the clique-centric 80's. This makes it tough to watch as someone the age of the adults in this show who was there, from Flock Of Seagulls to New Kids across AC/DC to Kid N' Play as a card carrying member, not my 80's, not really even a representative of the era. If you get past that and call it fantasy, mediocre.
