The majority of the show displays a fun, turbulent but also wholesome friendship between an unlikely pair, which is all well and good. The first 2 or 3 episodes of season 1, however, makes it difficult to like the titular character (especially when she and her cronies act like walking Title IX lawsuits).
The show quickly finds its more wholesome footing, though (which is only strengthened in season 2), and helps the "will they wont they" plot underneath the 2 main character's Irish-style friendship. It's like the difference between Season 1 of The Office (US) and the rest of the show, where Michael Scott is depicted as mostly a jerk before becoming more endearingly pathetic in Season 2 and onward.
Suffice it to say that while the show may alienate a lot of potential viewers in it's first few episodes, it does improve and limit the harassment to playful teasing.
