I recently binge watched this on Netflix. I found it addictive with the writing, characters and story lines. The acting is very good by all. I could relate in a sad way in my past to the Hank character. It made me yearn to fall of the wagon and go on a drunk ;-) I have not. Leave that for fiction. It IS very good lite adult entertainment. There are moral lessons in this in that the life pictured in the series is crap. It looks like fun but there is always the hangover that lasts a lifetime. Sometimes the writing takes a very ugly turn and the characters become very detestable. That is art imitating life. We all know such detestable characters at some time in our lives. I had heard that Duchovny was treated for sex addiction in real life. THAT again is life imitating the art of the small screen. There is a goodness hidden in this series. Moments of wisdom that make you laugh and smile. We see and feel the pain in the characters and laugh and cheer them on at times. As-in life we do so with the characters that populate our own lives. The adults are children and the children show wisdom at times the adult have yet to learn. This series is a good place to go away from the characters and Selves of our own lives. Then let it go and go back to our own lives so much life that will imitate art. If you dislike this series maybe it is because it brings out things in your own life you don't want to see or remember. Such as it was in my life. I faced it and with maturity embraced it all. I grew up and kept hoping the characters in the series would... and the people in my own life will.
