Over all it's a pretty good show. It's old territory done many times over, but 90s. I guess that's supposed to be something interesting using 90s angst and esthetics. Honestly, I'm okay with that. Especially with today's overt plastic people and constant use a cell phones.
The show deals more with the fallout of a tragic murder than a killers bodycount. So, for some, it may not be what they thought it was going to be. The acting is very good and so is everything else. There really isn't anything to complain about. Nor, is there anything to get super excited about, either.
I think the most interesting thing was seeing these kids from the 90s use thin laptops. 90s laptops were as thick as bricks. It's just funny knowing people making the show don't care about the little details because they know some 17 year old isn't going to know laptops were 2 inches thick, but to me, it's stuff like that which hinders the show.
Also, the 10 minute format doesn't work for the show. We just end up watching title card after title card. The momentum gets a bit lost everytime the credits and title card roll in. Besides a few little things, When the Street Lights Go On is well acted, well made and worth a watch.
