I grew up in the 80s close to the condo complex where it's filmed, so it scores for nostalgia and familiarity.

But man, the production values are low. First season of Trailer Park Boys low. There was a scene at a party that was supposed to be in 1980, but I guess they couldn't round up any extras with long hair so it looked like a party in 2015 with a few cans of old-school beer laying around. Same thing with the jock bullies in the show - nothing like jock bullies from back in the 80s.

And the two lead characters are too similar to one another in appearance and demeanor. I think one is supposed to the sympathetic lead character and the other his dim-witted buddy, but they're both pretty much smart-asses who look and behave a lot alike.

I think if they really want to go cheesy 80s retro, they have to go all the way and make it a full-blown satirical cheese-fest. As it is, it just watches like a bad sit-com from the 80s with terrible production values. I'll give it another shot just out of curiosity, but it needs to get a lot funnier.
