I wanted to like it... but I hate every character so far.
I mean, some TV shows have dumb over-the-top characters that you're not necessarily supposed to like as a person, but you might still like them as the characters they are - for instance, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Now, I saw all of the commercials for this show for weeks and didn't really care to watch it.
But I randomly caught the 5th episode on last night and learned that Ron Livingston was also in it, and I tend to like him. Overall, the 5th episode was still pretty silly for the heck of it, like Chantal's ex-roommate, but it caught my interest more.
I just decided to try it out and so I watched the pilot. That completely reversed my interest and I absolutely hate every single one of the 4 main characters. They're modern day archetypal characters with this beginning.
Should I even bother further? Does the show get any less stupid with them (e.g., Drew stops simultaneously being a baby and a freak, or Dory or Portia stop being idiots for different reasons)?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I answered the question for myself. I was going to watch 1 more episode and then give it a break and see if anyone said anything.
But I couldn't even finish the 2nd episode! The interaction between Dory and the cop (and her killing black teens comment), Elliott and that other guy, etc. Just horrible.
Even being a dark comedy or trying to be satirical, I can't actually stand it apparently.
