Yes, I gave up after two episodes. At first I liked the premise but then saw the show is endless scenes of people feeling sorry for themselves or being cringe in some other contrived way, mixed with crass random swearing and toilet humor. Go to the subreddit and any criticism is downvoted to hades, then there's a bunch of mindless astroturfed enthusiasm.
It seems like a lot of shows are like that these days: they try to be sentimental and sensitive, but then they throw a bunch of gross "humor" in there too. Or there's a lot of superficial political correctness, but at the same time all of the characters are horrible people who treat each other like crap. It's so jarring and tone-deaf.

Reply to comment by Discombobulated-Wing in "Shrinking" is making me realize Hollywood fucked up by not putting Harrison Ford in more comedy roles. His dead pan comedic timing is impeccable and hilarious. by Bluest_waters
