I caved in and started watching this yesterday. I know it's a YA programme but I've found it quite engaging and charming so far.

The soundtrack is really good, all 80s goth / post punk stuff. Weirdly the technology (and glimpsed Progs) all seem to be stuck in the 80s as well, so I was surprised when they started referring to past events in the 80s.

Couple of episodes in myself, and I very much agree — we're enjoying it a lot.

That's me finished and enjoyed the ending to the extent I would watch season 2 if it's picked up?

I think the 80s touch/feel hints that society is stumbling along since the event but it's still in the future. It works for me as it doesn't set in stone a "time period" in our present and might not age in years to come?
