I would describe this show as a Mystery, Action, Thriller set in the 80's. The Showrunners are definitely fans of 80's Kid Hero and Teen Romance Genres. They hired some of the most famous actors and actress from the 80's like Wynona Ryder, Sean Astin, Mathew Modine and Paul Raiser. Otherwise, there was no reason why the series was set in the 80's. However, the Showrunners failed to recreate the reasons why we love those movie characters. All the characters in this series are cliches and stereotypes. There were many attempts at humor but you can always see them coming a mile away, so they are never funny. There is nothing to like in any of the characters, so I didn't care if they live or die. The only reason to watch the series is waiting for the mystery reveal and the action is top notch. Otherwise, it is boring while waiting for the mystery reveal and actions. If you like a good mystery and good action then you may like it. If you are expecting good story telling and likable characters then you should skip.
