Having grown up during this time period during the 80s and the same exact same age as the kids in the show during that time period in America, it is bothering me that this wardrobe designer for this series got things so wrong. It is distracting me from watching the show. People did not wear flared pants during this time. We wore straight to the leg pants or cuffed our pants if you were "cool." Flared pants were worn in the 70s. Us 80s kids rejected that clothing. Some of the other clothing was from the 70s also and we would have never worn that. The hair is wrong on some of the characters also more reminiscent of the 70s. . If you are going to make a show about a specific time period, do your research. I cannot believe Winona Rider didn't say anything because that was when she also grew up.

On a positive note, the shirts were spot on for the ladies and the guys. The bikes with the banana seats, and staying out till late at night was spot on because many of us were latchkey kids. There was no security at schools. It was never thought of then.

The show gets better as it goes along. I am just finishing season 3 and will give another review after season 4 is finished.
