This show makes me feel dirty


At least it did...I quit watching a couple years ago. Something about it is just...unclean, somehow. A bunch of degenerates living in a filthy house, doing filthy stuff with their filthy bodies...
There's gay sex, webcam sex, anal stuff...a bunch of that, but mostly its just the set pieces...I guess, maybe. It seems like every other place you see is somewhere you'd never want to be. Like when you're driving through some seedy neighborhood and can't help but creep yourself out by trying to imagine living there.

Their house...that neighborhood, the places they stop to talk while on foot, walking the streets. Its all for sh*t, its a dirty, dirty show...like the intro to Welcome back Kotta, it just seems bleak and gross somehow.
Maybe its too try-hard in regards to the "urban" aspect of it, I don't know. I DO know that its not good for you and Jesus certainly disapproves, but mostly I'm just curious if anyone else has this...not quite explainable feeling from this show.

It's just another show that is edgy just for the sake o being edgy.

My biggest issue is that they had a washer and dryer. Even before Jimmy bought them the upgrade, they had one, so for there to always be a not having clean clothes issue made no sense. I'm only onS5E5 so maybe its explained later on.
