It was definitly cliche heavy, but I think that was part of the point. This whole series is a homage to 80's films, which is why horror and coming of age/teen drama are being focused on. I think the flashbacks will help a lot in this regard, as they will flesh out the characters, and make them less like a simple stock character. I mean think about how fleshed out Amy seems right now. The only problem with that is, it will take almost the whole season for all the mains to get a flashback, although this could also be good in a way, because it will mean a few of the characters can stay mysterious for a long time (as in we don't know their motivation/fear). Anyway, I guess time will tell how well it works. But hey, it worked for Lost and Once, so at least they got that going for them.
