No pretentious review here, just watch it and enjoy. I grew up in the midlands in the 80's (some of this was filmed in my home town) and it really captures the era, those expecting it to be all about music are the ones who are getting all up themselves.
There are plenty of old ska tracks, some rock steady but mainly I the background which was fine.
The accents are okay (if a little forced sometimes) as the main characters are from around the area, the gloomy atmosphere was well done and the acting was above average.
It's very well written and the poetic flow across the episodes works.
Reckon there will be another series which could expand the characters further, overall it was a good watch.
