There are some occasionally funny moments in this series, and it's better than your average sitcom, but overall it's the same generic, soapy fluff, just masquerading as something more dark, raunchy and cynical.
Around the fifth episode, with the Cutter story-line, the series begins to fully devolve into most of the standard sitcom character archetypes, and story-line tricks and tropes with very little additional depth or originality.
As the standard assortment of bland, slapstick sitcom antics ensue, the jokes grow staler, and the remaining potential for something funnier or more original fades. The depictions of addiction are often cartoonish, with a thin veneer of realism.
