One of my favorite things about recent storytelling is in tv series is it can be acceptable for archaic stuff and anachronisms to intentionally be on screen - like Batman spinoffs like Gotham. A small time hood might be in an apartment with a 1980s neo-noir vibe, he’s wearing a suit that has a bit of a 70s vibe, and he’s watching breaking news about himself on a 1960s cabinet tv where the breaking news segment somehow manages to seem sort of from the present and sort of from the past.
I wonder if it was fun or more stressful for the people responsible for the look of that series to be responsible to create a vibe for a city and an era that never existed.
If the tube is totally hosed this is actually a cool reuse tbh. Nice cabinets on some old TVs.
