The only good thing about watching a show with ZERO likable characters is you don't worry about anything bad happening to them.

In fact, if any of these people were to die, it wouldn't be fair cuz they'd avoid watching the rest of this awful series.

This is the kind of show that's so self-amused with its indie-rock references and tired clichés you start to wonder, "Is Apple saying no to anything? Or are they just green-lighting anything that comes marching in from NYU daycare with a Tisch degree?"

It's based on a book that takes place in the 70s, updated to NYC in the early 2000's, and done by the guy who did The O. C. If any of that sounds good to you, you can have my seat.
