What year is the show suppose to be?


Is it late 80's, 90's?

reply

I'm still figuring it out myself, but I'd hazard a guess in the early- to mid- 80s, based upon the cars, lack of cell phone technology, and the cultural references. Not to spoil it, but the end of the first episode is a heavy reference to punk fashion. At the earliest, it's very late 70s.

It says "1988" right in the show itself.
