Bland young adults being entitled - the series
19 April 2017
It starts out kinda funny and charming, but then turns into sort of a bland mess of trivial issues being discussed ad nauseam, entitled behavior, and just a generally unlikable main character. You sympathize with his struggles at first, but over time you realize that he is a selfish narcissist that spends most of his time feeling sorry for himself. Not a single of the main characters has a job (and when at one point it is suggested to the main character that he should get one, he reacts flabbergasted), yet they never have to struggle with money.

Most of the humor comes from the fact that everyone seems to be blandly fine with everything and shows very little to no emotions. I do commend it for playing with people's expectations every now and then, by setting up a scenario where you expect a certain reaction and then not giving it to us, but unfortunately almost every time it is that we are given no reaction... because like I said before, everyone is blandly fine with everything.

It's just a bland mess of bland blandness, trying to get some jokes from the fact that everyone is so bland.
