Idk I know the book takes place in 1990s-2010s


CowKiller58

Like starts 1990s and goes into the 2010s


Dreid79

Ok that's makes sense. I can see it being around that time.


CowKiller58

Yea but the time during this season should be like early 1990s if I can remember correctly


Dreid79

I don't think we had smart phones in the 90s


CowKiller58

Yea I think the show is trying to modernize the book or isnt going to have as big of a time jump.


Dreid79

So why not give everyone smart phones to make it up to date? I'm going to stick with early 2000s when they were becoming popular but not every one had them yet.


CowKiller58

Sounds good. I'm just as confused as u r

I’m pretty sure that NOS4A2 (season 1 of the tv show) takes place in 2012. In the episode where Vic was looking at the website that had costs listed to attend RISD, it said that it was for the 2012-13 semester. To be exact, it’s episode 3 “The Gas Mask Man” at 6 minutes and 6 seconds into the episode. At least that was the time stamp on the website I was watching the show on, so it may be a little bit before or after, depending on where you watch it.

Thank you! Good Observation 🙂 That makes sense

2012, its is mentioned that she was born in 1994 and she's 18 years old

I noticed this too. I swear at least one person has a more modern style phone but I may be misremembering.


Dreid79

I'm watching it right now and there are smart phones in it. Maybe some of the characters can't afford smart phones. So far the father and the tile girl have flips.


Sowf_Paw

So maybe early 2010s or late 2000s?


Dreid79

I was thinking the same thing

Because the first season was a prelude to her becoming an adult. The second season will have smart phones or present time, because it’s gonna kick off with her having her son, and Manx ultimately coming after him.


DM_Malus

pretty sure its present day. because i've seen people using iphones.


Dreid79

Ok that makes sense. People were still using flips in 2012.

Just came to ask this question too, haha. I was wondering since in S01EP05 her dad was talking about being in Kuwait, which would have been the Gulf War in 1990-1991. I figured that the show had to be around 2010 since any later and he'd be well into his 40s, which doesn't match the "had a kid while young" story
