I just finished watching the entire series over the course of the year, so I’m a late-blooming fan. Probably top three comedy show for sure. Seinfeld for Xers and Millenials but with more heart and cast chemistry. It’s amazing that they were able to maintain the quality for the most part through the entire series. Dennis takes a mental health day season finale of the most recent series was fantastic!

I’m curious, why do others connect to and enjoy the show?

I like to think of it as the same show as Friends, except the writers are all completely totally aware that their characters are absolute pieces of human garbage.

Dennis’s BPD diagnosis was a bit triggering, as that episode aired just after i’d gotten out of a 6 year long abusive relationship with someone who had both borderline & narcissistic personality disorder, and dennis having BPD kinda tracks hard.

I’ve always loved the show, but you have to keep in mind that this is and has always been the premise: all of the main characters are complete shitbags. It’s a parody of the worst of humanity, and it’s an amazing show under that lens.

I believe the cast described the show as "Friends, but they hate each other"

Sprinkle in a little crack and alcoholism too. Definitely my number one minus the newest seasons
