Yeah I'm finding it harder and harder to ignore. There's plenty of great songs from the era they could've used instead. As neverending said it's really sloppy considering they've gone out of their way to recreate the era with the rest of the show. I don't think it's a twist it's more the producers/network playing it safe with well known contemporary songs pandering to modern/younger audiences. It's flaw that really stops the show from being a truly great piece of television like Canivale.
Aside from this I think this is a great season and I'm especially enjoying the clown storyline. The comradery between the freaks is a nice touch bringing some raw emotion (the final act of episode 2) that the show hasn't really touched on before. Perhaps taking a cue from The Walking Dead?
