    Featured review

    maybe one of these things that was better at the time?

    Checked out the first episode of this when I saw it was created by Kurt Schaefer, who did great shows like Eerie Indiana and Z-Nation. The few reviews are all ecstatic about it, but seeing it for the first time over 30 years after its debut it seems pretty hockey and conventional. The dialogue and acting are pretty iffy, and I just don't get it.

    But maybe if you were an 80s high school student this was amazing. Anyway, I'm not giving it a rating because I don't want to bring down the score of something with so much love, but I can't see watching more of this.
