Jose Oquendo posted:Wow I guess I'm in the minority. This is like C grade teen drama with 90's references tossed in. It's getting compared to Freaks and Geeks, but F&G blows this out of the loving water. It has none of the wit or humor. Yeah I'm not feeling it. I like Freaks and Geeks and love My So-Called Life and this feels like... well, the trailer's use of "Linger" really tells you everything you need to know about the show's tone. Where MSCL wrestled with the inherent problems of 90s culture - such as "Why is Evan Dando, a pale anemic junkie, so goddamn hot?!" or "is bisexuality a choice? Can it be?" - this show seems content to take the decade at face value, which, woof. I never really got the complaints about Stranger Things being "80s for 80s sake" but this show definitely struck me as "90s for 90s sake". It is no better - and no worse, really - than Reality Bites or Empire Records, so if you dig those, you'll dig this. Welcome to the winter of our discontent. For my bunghole.
