the show sounds and look cartoonish


Did people really talked and acted like that in the 70's?
The show looks kinda cartoonish at times.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the show. Pretty cool concept.
And i know that there were things on this show pretty much factual with the time that the show goes on.
...The Disco, the Riphop, the Gangs, the violence, the building burnings... I get that all that is based on actual things from the 70's.
...But, did people really talk and act like that?
I mean... the DJ dude that got shot in the first episode... what the heck was THAT?? LOL

It's part of the aesthetic of the show.
