This is my first review, i have seen some great shows, and certainly this is not the best, but it is quite something and i felt the review i saw was a disservice to the show and any potential watchers.
I'd say this show is about dysfunction, but of the kind that exists in the lives of everyday people behind the curtain that very few are ever truly privy to.
The characters are quite impressive, bolstered by impressive performances. They are not one dimensional, and display the range of emotional responses on the scale like the rest of us do, they are not always kind, rational etc, just like real people they waver. As for the comment of the characters being unsympathetic, and 'shallow' that i find to be a poor observation. The characters have developed over the show, where you see the outer shell to begin with, and as the episodes have progressed, you slowly start to see more and more of each person, just like you would in real life, and the show has only gotten better.
The biggest strength is that each and every person feels 'real' something 99 percent of shows fail to achieve.
All in all, definitely worth watching.
