I was born in the 80's.. grew up in the 90's.. this show feels very realistic to what I remember.. I didn't think it was biased.. bashing or whatever else people who gave it 1 start reviews said.. people don't like hear real commentary about the bad stuff that happened in our society (cops did beat up a black man in the street and lie about it.. abstinence didn't help prepare our youth when it came to knowledge of sex/STDs).. everything isn't going to be sugar coated to make everyone comfortable/happy.. I watched the whole series and enjoyed it all.. where there some uncomfortable parts? Sure.. but it's a documentary told from the view of the people who were there and lived through it.. just because it isn't one persons reality or how THEY remember things doesn't mean it I isn't another persons reality.. I wish people were a bit more open minded and accepting of other peoples lived experiences.. again I enjoyed it.. seemed very spot on from my POV.. I hope you enjoy it!
