3.0

Definitely some hilarious moments, some vivid scenes, and a lot of irreverent quirkiness. But I'm left wondering really what was the point? It's a character study, but there's a lot of detail and minor characters that don't  really go anywhere. A lot about the MCs and their interactions just felt really unlikely, like they were caricatures rather than real people.
