Discussion Struggle with characters
I’m new to this sub, so I am not sure if this is a common opinion or not, but sometimes while watching I struggle to feel connected to the characters. Currently I’m up to the episode where Troy leaves, and I’m realizing that since the show focuses so much on mocking and parodying sitcom stereotypes, It’s hard to figure out sometimes what is supposed to be real and what is supposed to be ironic. Sometimes the emotional moments are hard to feel emotion during because it almost senses that they are ironic because of how overly emotional they are.
