Watched the first few episodes of the new series "High School" based on Tegan & Sara's teen years growing up in Calgary. Lots of warm and fuzzy 90s nostalgia in this show, especially the soundtrack which includes dozens of throwbacks like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, 54-40, The Tragically Hip, the Odds, the Breeders, Veruca Salt, etc...
Also plenty of Calgary-centric easter eggs, like gig posters for shows at the Republik, a Red Autumn Fall t-shirt, a scene where they go to a Green Day concert at the 'Dome, and several scenes filmed at Crescent Heights High School.
