Wait what? Why? How?

This is strange on so many levels. And by strange I don't mean good nor bad, just strange, literally. Gus is the kind of nerdy/odd/weird guy who does his nerdy/odd/weird things, but from the first episode you see him transported in a series of events which don't really seem to get along with the character. Then, while I'm in the middle of the season trying to figure out what is going on and why is all happening in such a strange mood, other stranger things get in the way and leave me with more questions. I also don't understand why every girl is attracted by Gus; from the two teen sisters interested in a ménage à trois with him to the young and hot blonde actress. I mean, yeah, it's sort of funny to watch, but too awkward to be anywhere near reality. Mickey keeps f**ing things up, still Gus is attracted by her; Gus keeps doing... whatever the hell he's supposed to??? Yep this is another thing I'm not getting: he doesn't really manage to teach anything to these young spoiled "actors". Well, he isn't even capable of shutting his mouth while getting a blow-job, so why keep wondering? In my honest opinion, the (1st) season finale was the only episode where things made a bit more sense and took a turn (although that was extremely predictable): Gus stands up in front of his bitchy boss making some good realizations, and Mickey apologizes to him so they come back "together" (as if they had ever been). This TV series looks like the usual show where the authors want you to dive into the strange and (somehow) funny/awkward lives of their characters, and I get the point, that's not a bad idea, but the way it all happens, the way the characters are playing it, and the way the whole thing is developing... that's just f**ing with my brain. Five out of ten just because there are some funny/relatable facts here and there.

That's about it for me, I don't think I'm going to watch season 2.
