Why is this a show?

So many clichés in search of a plot! Alcoholics who go to AA meetings, constantly utter all the AA sayings, keep trying to fix other people, and struggle to avoid the constant temptation of the bottle. Middle aged loser men chasing after hot loser-ish women half their age, for the purpose of meaningless sex. And not a plot or story to be found. None of the characters are very likable either.

I watched the first episode, waiting for something to actually happen, yet nothing really did. The experience made me depressed and vaguely angry - why would anyone green light this show? Why would Netflix finance it? Is Netflix mad at me about something, and passive-aggressively trying to get even with me? Or did I somehow offend Will Arnett, and this is his way of getting back at me? I don't even know the guy. Or when he and Amy Poehler got divorced, did he lose custody of the couple's talent, without even weekend visitations? So many questions, so few answers.

score 3/10
