When the Street Lights Go On

Great show. was confused at first with each episode only being 9 minutes long but the show was done perfectly. acting was great storyline was amazing.

What the eff happened? The set up in episode one hooked you. The main characters were great. acting was solid. Then the final episode, #10, really made me mad. It's like out of nowhere, bam! A couple twists and it's done... and not in a good way IMO. What a sad, sad away to end it.

I was expecting at least two more episodes to finish the narrative as elegantly as it started. Instead, it was too tidy and makes me look back at wasted space in the story that should have been better used on fleshing out the story.

A very awkward intro scene in segment one made me think bandwagon time. Just watch it and think of current 2019-2020 events. It has a voiceover like Stephen king's 'it' and it works well. Worth a bIng watch through.

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.
