Yes it is full of 80's nostalgia, but that is not necessarily a bad thing at all. The cinematography is just amazing, the kids' performances are fantastic, the story is... well, the story is just OK. Considering that i'm writing this review with only first season aired, i believe some of the major flaws will be properly fixed for the next seasons. The show has a great potential, but DO NOT expect an "10" show, nor ever an "9.1". My eight is far generous, could be an 7.5 with honors. I recommend watching the first couple episodes, and if you're not hooked, don't waste any more time. It's a show for people who like an specific kind of sci-fi and are not too exigent.
