I grew up in the 80's but you wouldn't need to have done to appreciate this. It has sass & coolness throughout. 'This Town' was written about the people, the politics and the music of an era but still manages to transcend into modern culture with this gem of a series.
Thank god for Steven Knight, he builds the characters so well that you have empathy and attachment to each of them. I find this is missing in a lot of modern productions and it lets them down. This however, is brilliantly written, stunningly produced and a joy to watch. I am now left wanting more.
The music was chosen carefully with a fusion of genres which is what the era was all about.
A mix of Peaky Blinders and This Is England rolled into one.
