It’s a specific kind of comedy sensibility that seems to come through Second City, and it takes a while for the characters to be anything more than obnoxious stereotypes, which is absolutely how they are framed in the first season. Just gross people I don’t want to spend any time with. But it gets better. For me, at least.
