>"The other characters were just shitty, boring, obnoxious rich people doing shitty stuff."

I watched one episode and abandoned it partially because of this. It gave me a strong Wes Anderson vibe and I can't stand Wes Anderson. This does not mean it is terrible, it is just (it seems to me) a specific type of humor targeted to a specific demographic. Personally, I can't stand this kind of humor but a ton of very smart people that I know absolutely love this stuff and eat it up and find it hilarious. It's just a perspective thing. I think it's more prevalent if you grow up with money and privilege because you're exposed to these type of characters and this behavior so it triggers a strong response maybe? All the people I know that love this stuff grew up kind of like that but that's not my world so I'm really just guessing.
