I'm not really into horror and I postponed watching this when I learned that it was set in the 80's, as I like modern series and films. But this is more mystery/thriller than scary and the whole 80s scene actually worked in its favour.

I don't want to give anything away, as I believe that the less you know about a TV show or movie, especially a thriller, the more you'll enjoy it. I'll just add that there are children, teenagers, adults (thankfully) and their paths all interconnect to create a gripping story, with a mix of drama, suspense and even some humour. I was quite surprised to see that many episodes were written by different people, as they all pick up where the previous one left off. This is one series that it's easy to binge watch, I couldn't wait to see what would come next.

Of course this isn't for everyone. It's sort of sci-fi but there is more fiction than science. But if it's entertainment you're after, this delivers.

2022 June Update: I changed my rating from 9 to 7 after watching season four (until episode 7). I still think it's very good, but it feels like an introduction dragged over seven episodes and my favourite character didn't take a prominent role. Perhaps it's my taste that changed, or the pace has become a little too slow, making me wait too long for an interesting or good development.
