I'll be watching it soon. My other half never got into it, so I'll be watching alone. I hope they wrap it up well.
I lived through the 80s and I'm not sure how cool it was. I certainly wasn't as I was a geek obsessed about the early wave of home computers. I can identify with that aspect of the show though.
It's a very glorified decade, maybe over glorified to a certain extent. Realistically thought, it did give rise to some great bands, film franchises, and the leap in home computers, and gaming was amazing in that decade, too.
Also, a lot of the films and TV shows now are often times reboots of things released then, too.
