The characters are amazing, the story is a modern day fairy tale gone array and the songs pull you back to "I remember when". I have DVR'd all of the episodes and I watch them in eager anticipation for the new ones. This is one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. This show isn't about the cheerleaders, the prom queens or the popular girls. Here's to the first "chick show" in forever that is aimed at the ones hanging on the fringe. Not sure where the writers are going with the story or how they intend to wrap up what her time travel journey has done for her, but I'm really enjoying how Becca's choices keep changing things from her past, even in the smallest of ways. ![]() It's the first new show in a long time that I've actually been interested in. Overall, i hope Hindsight will run for a while. I don't love the choice of actress for the main character Becca (her face isn't very expressive) but I get why she was chosen: her looks and the fact that her age is hard to pinpoint which makes it easier for the audience to accept her as both a 40 year old and a woman in her early 20s. ![]() Despite the bad reviews, I actually think this show is cleverly written, entertaining and seems to get better with every episode. There is also some other great humor as well, especially with characters Lolly and Jamie. Since this show is about going back in time, there is of course lots of humor surrounding all that has changed so much in the last 20 years, like cell phones and the internet. The 90s flashback music, clothing, pop culture references, and even the attitudes of that era make this show rich with nostalgia and lots of fun. Because the longer you tell the story, the more clear it will become that your story was insufficient.Definitely a fun show for those of us who were teens or young adults during the 90s. But resist telling those stories again and again. It’s what we do at home, at work, and in our society. It’s natural to look back at what happened and to look for a logical explanation. Where ever you are, be careful about hindsight bias. Is it wrong that I would expect more courage from people who have declared themselves “life coaches”? But it seems that the most popular life coaches on social media spend 50% of their time explaining what happened in the past, 25% of their time sharing a soft “key to life,” and the remaining 25% of their time selling their service or book. Life coaches? It’s a new profession, and I’m still not sure what they do or how this works. If you expose your financial track record to a financial planner, he’ll tell you all the things that you did right and wrong. Hindsight bias, somehow, seems to be woven deeply into the fabric of many professions. These are two models that are informed by the past, tested in the present, and then boldly suggest what will happen next. I guess that’s why I geek out on Gartner’s Hype Cycle and Crossing the Chasm. It leaves you vulnerable because you might be wrong. Ironically, I’ve found very few of these authors who have the courage to predict the future–this takes too much nerve. Their hope is that their storytelling will be so compelling that you’ll agree with anything else they write. These writers look back at winners and losers in the business world, and then they string together theories to explain why it happened. Surprisingly, many business authors and bloggers fall victim to hindsight bias. If you pick through the facts of any situation, you can draw almost any conclusion. Yet they find evidence to support the outcome. The only thing that changed was a gust of wind. But if the wind would have blown the football outside of the goalposts and their team lost by a point, they would have been forced to explain the many reasons why their team lost. If their football team wins, they can tell you a long list of reasons why their team won the game. However rewarding it is to hear these stories on the shows, they were rife with what psychologists call hindsight bias: Hindsight bias is the inclination, after an event has occurred, to see the event as having been predictable, despite there having been little or no objective basis for predicting it.Īnother way to say it: it’s easy to make sense of things that have already happened. ![]() In the 1990s, Saved by the Bell made everyone want acid washed jeans.In the 1980s, Run DMC kicked off a suburban rap music revolution.In the 1970s, polyester was introduced to fashion, and cotton wasn’t seen again for years.In the 1960s, The Beatles had shaggy hair, and then no young person on the planet got a haircut for a decade.One of the trademarks of the show was celebrities talking about why and how trends caught on during each decade. We’ve heard these stories before: I Love 1990: Kelly Kapowski and Saved by the Bell.
