Awful Commentators
The segment with Adam Ant was good, except for the bogus DJ who was probably about 5 years old in 1981 and yet she had a lot of nonsense remarks to make about Adam Ant's popularity, and they all sounded totally bogus.
Except for the actual artists who appear to provide commentary, the "social media" types that get most of the screen time are just obnoxious to listen to. The fact that most of them had nothing to do with 1981 or any of the artists is hard to ignore.
This series is pretty awful. It is like some kind of half-axed project that some intern put together, and by hitting up the old artists who are desperate for recognition and nostalgia, they put together a lot of snippets that do not mesh well because the people that produced this have no idea what 1981 or the 1980s were about.
