Target audience age

[lovingboth]

One of the things that I find interesting about this series is that it looks to be aimed at an audience who remember 1980. Or at least as someone who does, it adds considerably to the enjoyment of the show.

Have the creators said anything about this?

For those who are under 50, how much do things like Haig's "I'm in charge" come as a surprise?

Set design

[(Anonymous)]

It takes away the enjoyment for me when so many things about the set design, hair and clothes are all so modern day. TV on the mantle? Those massive things would never fit on a mantle! That wasn't a thing until around 2005!
Elizabeth's hair... long and beautiful and swept to the side - 2010+ The way she ties her hair back? No
Kitchen Island? Come on! Round silver handles on kitchen cabinets? No. The list goes on and on. Obviously designed by someone who didn't live it or who wasn't paying attention.

I'm not sure we're watching the same show.

But, as it happens, I have a home design magazine from the 80s. Notice the island and round, silver handles.
