    Great until...

    I was enjoying the series very much until they changed the whole cast , it felt weird , I lost interest.

    Watchable

    It's not that bad...it also doesn't take place in the 80s, the first 5 minutes are 1978 then 50s & 60s. (Loved the costumes.) If you don't get the plot and the side stories you're pretty dense..

    Must watch (until only 26 episodes)

    This is a really good series to watch with amazing starcast (all of them), great acting and fun to watch. Fast forward 26 episodes and entire starcast is replaced with people you'll not want to watch. Terrible acting and horrible looks as compared to original starcast. How did the producer decide to change everyone and replace them with misfit people and made the story boring. Just watched 30 mins of new starcast and i am already bored. Just horrible! Not watching rest of the episodes. Such a shame they ruined a perfectly good series.

    They made a huge mistake.

    Highly disappointed. I was so into it, I binged watched it for 2 straight days and then...there it goes. Episode 27, the whole cast changed. I just couldn't get into it after that, I was cringing. Otherwise, I would of definitely finished but no thanks. The only reason why i'm rating it a 5.
