I found the story to be pretty boring. There are a lot of characters, and they don&#8217;t make us care about any of them, so it&#8217;s hard to tell them apart at times.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the show is set in the 80&#8217;s, most of the music they play is from the 70&#8217;s&#8230;not even 1979, but earlier. Now, sure, if you grew up in the 70&#8217;s, you would still want to listen to your own music from college and high school, but you&#8217;d also probably still be listening to the current music.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; I love 70&#8217;s music. I enjoyed that part of watching the show. I&#8217;m sure that it would have a great soundtrack. I just wondered why there wasn&#8217;t more music from the time the show is actually set in.<\/p>\n<p>I only watched the first episode, so perhaps they do use more music from 1980 later on. I wasn&#8217;t interested enough in the show to keep watching, though.\u00a0 There are so many wonderful shows out there&#8230;there&#8217;s no time for me to watch something I already don&#8217;t like, to see if it gets better.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it seemed like the actors might have been paid extra every time they used the F word.
