I am not reading any posts in this thread at all until I finish season 4. I have my screen scrolled up and all I can see in this reply box. With that being said; a friend of mine recommended the show to me a long time ago. I watched the first 15 minutes or so of the first episode and I hated it. I hated all of the characters. I hated the story. I hated the dialogue. So the friend told me later (after I told her and her wife what happened) that those characters (the main girl and the people on the outside at first) are the shittiest characters in the whole show. She said I should give it another try. I did, and I really enjoyed the show. It's not super great wonderful TV but it's worth watching. A lot of actresses/actors give some truly great performances in this thing. A lot of the characters are very well rounded, believable, and memorable. A lot of the plot moments are incredibly compelling. There are times where I actually get a good laugh (rare for TV) and there are times that will just punch you right in the gut and give you a lingering case of the feels. There have actually been episodes that were emotionally impactful enough that I had to step away from watching it and give it break. And of course there are hot naked women sprinkled all over the place and the music they use is great. I recommend watching it and sticking with it.
