The first season was hysterical. The satire was great, and this show did an excellent job of making fun of itself. The characters were likable enough, and at least with me, I wanted to see "the other two" succeed.
Then season two started with these characters' careers taking off, and as with all shows, they want drama. So, their actions became more problematic, they started to venture into more experimental and less character-like avenues, and it was not as enjoyable to watch. While it still had some funny moments, the show no longer withheld the satirical atmosphere from season one, and suddenly, it began to take itself seriously. And this became the show's problem.
By season three, though not finished, I had to stop watching. Not only are the characters unlikeable...they are unwatchable. Typically characters emotionally develop as shows continue, they mature, but these have all done the opposite. Even more so, it's clear that none of them really love or care about one another, which is a far cry from their relationships in season one.
I know shows typically like to get worse before they get better, Love Victor, I am looking at you, but this is too much. You normally have one or two characters doing poorly, some doing well, and some veering on the edge of both. For me, by season three, they all have made the characters so terrible there isn't anything or anyone worth watching.
It's disappointing because this had a tremendous amount of potential. I hope that for the viewers sticking it out, it does redeem some of itself as the show continues, but sadly, I can no longer sit and wait for it.
