A rare show. Meant to be treasured by some and disliked by others
This is actually a really brave & rare show. Brave because its the kind of show that could kill careers if it does badly. When you do a more safe, conventional show, even if it does badly, people will still say you are a decent director, actor, etc... Whereas a show like this gets you in director jail, actor-cannot-act hate, etc...Good news is: You would know within the first few episodes. If this show is for you, it will be something you treasure. Its a proper farce that commits to its tone and flawed characters. Not just for the silly & over-the-top parts. Its also not afraid to really make you feel raw frustration & angst when necessary. It even has some thoughtful things to convey about love, making it work, and how it can give life meaning, even for people who may not necessarily deserve it
That being said, its entirely natural to dislike this show. For some, you may even feel a visceral hatred for the lead characters immediately. If that's your gut feeling, you should stop watching, because what you hate about it is intentional and it won't get better
TLDR: I am over-analyzing and making it seem too intellectual. Whereas, you should just watch a few episodes and see if you vibe with it. If you do, likely you would love it
