You basically need to get behind the basic premise that they are all damaged goods to incurable degrees, even the ones from the supposedly "have their shit together" universe.

If you don't get that that is the core premise of the entire show, it looks like a giant "idiot ball" assembly and lame and at best the spectacle and weirdness is still a draw.

Even if some of them try to work on their issues and seem like they are getting better, they will always (most like by each other) be drawn back into their pathology.
