I feel like the only person who is just not feeling the show. I'm only a few episodes in though. The comparisons to Orange is the New Black make sense on the surface (large ensemble dramedy) but that show went out of their way to make you care about the characters (the flashback stories). I'm hoping it changes as the season progresses but so far I just don't give a poo poo about anyone.

Maron is great in his role. Also I had no idea that was Awesome Kong/Kharma in the show. Pretty cool.

After not liking the first few episodes the show has grown on me.

On one hand I like the shorter length episodes. Not a lot of filler and makes it easier to binge. On the other hand, I'd love more background on the characters lives. This would be a perfect show for the OitNB/Lost style flashbacks. So many stories that can be told.

Was this show done on a tight budget? Most of the scenes are filled in the gym or hotel. Only 10 episodes and they are shorter.

It's not that hard; 80s clothes and hair alone get you 90% of the way there.

Yeah, we underestimate just how terrible hair and fashion was in the 80's.
