This show is incredibly stupid.

I'm not trying to be a troll but i heard that this show was similar to Mad Men and American Psycho (both of which i loved)but whomever(s) wrote this show has no real life experience at all it seems.

I could only get through to the second episode and i quit because seriously noone ever puts an AA meeting center right next to a bar ! but there was also just too many coincidences and plot induced stupidity to leave me enjoying what did work which was really good acting on everyone's part.

I get that this show was innovative for it's time but i think it was overrated by critics.

Not true. In San Francisco there was a street where three of the corners each had a bar. The fourth corner? The fourth was a building where AA meetings were held. At the time people referred to it as "The Triangle." Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction. You should get out a little more and experience it.

Easily the dumbest comment I've seen in a long time. Not surprising coming from a moron who not only makes a big deal about an AA meeting being next to a bar but also thinks it "would never happen". Seriously where are you from? What hick country town allows stupidity like this to exist?

This show was ahead of its time.
