I've watched this show for a while. Gene is pretty much a smart Ozzy. He's great at business but just as clueless as Ozzy when it comes to family.
It's been a fairly lighthearted show throughout, with the darker undertone of Gene and Shannon's unusual relationship. That has come to the forefront as their relationship is either crumbling or strengthening, depending on how it goes. I think the teaser for the next (and IIRC final) episode of the season makes it looks like he finally proposes; I just wonder, after all the years of suffering silently, if Shannon hasn't had enough, 'cause it would be tragically funny if she says no (after years of waiting for him to ask).
