Lol I stopped caring after they revealed why John killed himself and thought there was only like one more season. Did they have any other interesting plots since then?

Just imagine that every character in the show has lived through every possible life tragedy in the span of a few years - that’s pretty much what this show is like.

It's been a while since I watched the show, and I stopped at the end of Season 1 after the reveal, but from what I remember it was something akin to >!unresolved PTSD/depression/survivor's guilt that he managed to not be in the World Trade Centers on 9/11 when he was supposed to have been there!<. This may not be 100% correct, or there may be more nuance that I'm forgetting, but this was at the heart of it.

I think it was something to do with survivors guilt

This show didn’t know what it wanted other than being a “This is Us” knock off then totally going off the rails.
