This show was not for me, and I've had trouble trying explain why. I made it through most of the first season and followed the rest of it via recaps from my partner, mostly.
The main problem for me was that, while none of the characters were likeable or had any redeeming qualities, I was was still supposed to find them relatable. To me, the show is saying "yes they're super rich but at the end of the day we're all human and have family and feelings and deserve blah blah blah," and I'm sitting there watching and feeling uncomfortable because WHY THE FUCK ARE WE GLORIFYING THE LIVES OF THE SUPER RICH?
but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Two thumbs down from this buckaroo, though.
It wasn't glorifying them, it was showing how they are messed up in their heads. All of them were trying to get approval from their evil father, and he never showed any love or compassion for any of them. Actually he only respected when they were evil themselves.
I didn't like any of the characters either except for some comedy relief moments. But these guys are sick, living in their own world, separated from normal humans, which only contributes to their sick mental state.
All they cared about was more influence, money and power, and they would stab eachother in the back to get it. Sort of like kings in the past.
