There is a basic concept called suspending disbelief that allows the viewer to get lost in the story, forgetting it isn't "real life".
We all adjust to seeing the 1920's in color or voice overs in stories, but this series warps time in a few ways. Music and dance circa 2017 might work in a 1920's story if the dance weren't a jolt out of time but the real problem is lyrics that mention later eras such as mentions of television one may not be able to ignore. Dance could be less jarring if a more timeless style. Thank goodness no actress tries to sell Clear Blue Easy or the pill.
It's a odd choice to have future music and I hope it doesn't spoil a decent series. Mabbe future seasons, if there are any, will use a less jolting dance and music mix with 1920's Spain that serves the story.
