Characters are very well portrayed and interestingly all the more enjoyable for having all their flaws front and center. A great rejoinder to hippies and yuppies who did not let having children interfere with their drugging and promiscuity, and yet who seemed to maintain their wealth and pomposity with nary a touch of shame. Son and daughter try to make some sense of life, with mixed results. Mostly looking for love in...you know the rest.

The problem that I have with this show is that the characters do not grow. They act out their hidden needs again and again. I mean, give us a break! Let someone emerge from existential hell and catch a breath of fresh air. It would make the show much better.
