Not crap but not what I was hoping for.

I liked it. I grew up in the 80's as a kid so I liked the 80's vibe with the music and setting. I think anytime a show is going 80's it risks alienating some younger viewers that can't associate. I'm also a sucker for artsy movies so it does check a lot of boxes for me but this is definitely not a film that everyone will like. Not a masterpiece by any means but I enjoyed the film.
