I don't know if that's 100% accurate. I would agree that they're all terrible, but the show doesn't sell you on the idea that you're not supposed to root for anybody. In fact, it rather enjoys selling you in the idea that someone is terrible and then pivoting to elicit your sympathy for them for a while only to then expose their ruinous selves again, which is something of a rug pull. Armond is deeply relatable and sympathetic.... If yiu forget the bit where his biggest problem with handling a workplace birth was how it was going to affect him. His downward spiral after that is just sad. Funny, but heartbreaking once you get to the end.
Only true if you invest in him of course. If you like watching stuff at a high level and not buying in, I mean, it's great TV for that. Otherwise it sometimes feels like it's making a joke of its audience, which I just kind of don't have time for. The world is garbage, I don't need TV to make me feel bad.
