Started this show - what can I expect?


As an 80s child and still a great fan of this decade, I thought I will give this show a chance. I'm 4 episodes in now. My question is, will it stay this way (a light-hearted comedy - which would be fine for me) or will it become more serious (which would be interesting)?

Lots of nostalgia, sometimes as an end in itself. But most of the time it will be dancing on the line between light-hearted comedy and the pain of growing up, in the second season even more focussed than in the first, which completely fails in episode 7, where it chooses to go into 100% meaningless nostalgia territory.
