Hindsight (2015)
10/10
Really liking this show
12 February 2015
Definitely a fun show for those of us who were teens or young adults during the 90s. The 90s flashback music, clothing, pop culture references, and even the attitudes of that era make this show rich with nostalgia and lots of fun. Since this show is about going back in time, there is of course lots of humor surrounding all that has changed so much in the last 20 years, like cell phones and the internet. There is also some other great humor as well, especially with characters Lolly and Jamie. Despite the bad reviews, I actually think this show is cleverly written, entertaining and seems to get better with every episode. I don't love the choice of actress for the main character Becca (her face isn't very expressive) but I get why she was chosen: her looks and the fact that her age is hard to pinpoint which makes it easier for the audience to accept her as both a 40 year old and a woman in her early 20s. Overall, i hope Hindsight will run for a while. It's the first new show in a long time that I've actually been interested in. Not sure where the writers are going with the story or how they intend to wrap up what her time travel journey has done for her, but I'm really enjoying how Becca's choices keep changing things from her past, even in the smallest of ways. Very cool.
