YEAH! This is brilliant!
Watched 4 episodes last night.
Lots of bits will feel familiar to any 80s kids - there's lots of familiar moments 'borrowed' from the likes of E.T and The Goonies. Even down to the likes of the floating toys, introducing the dinosaurs etc and especially the little blonde girl who is totally Drew Barrymore in ET!
It's like a mashup between ET, The Goonies and Poltergeist.
Loving this so much!
The artwork and title sequences are great and the music is a lot of 80s classics and some awesome synth stuff for atmospherics too.
Much kudos to the guys behind this series.
Looks like all us oldies appreciate it but wonder what the younger generations think of it.
