Yeah, for the longest time I thought I was the only person that actually liked this, but thanks to the internet I now know that I'm not alone.
And, like the first series, you get your fill of horror and science fiction ironic twists... more with an eye to horror in the 80s version and not so much science fiction. And one episode that seems like an updated Wicker Man.
Anyway, everything has been said already, so the best thing I can do is point out that it had everyone. I mean it had EVERYONE, every actor that wasn't a leading man in the 80s and some actors that were, it had has beens and will bes in it.
You're going to sit down and spend and episode screaming "Oh! I know him from!"
And in 2020, pure nostalgia.
