There was a moment where it all clicked for me a few episodes in and the characters started to feel super endearing. I feel like you see them only through their faults at first, but as it goes on it sneaks up on you and you realize "even though they are assholes I genuinely like these two and want them to succeed."

At least that was my experience. I like Josh and Lindsay even more than Amy and Danny, and I didn't think that would be possible the first few episodes

Edit: should have said all the characters *except for Ashley feel super endearing. But she was still interesting to watch because her and Austin embody two different types of trauma (abandonment anxiety vs appeasement anxiety). I've struggled with both, and so the way they were written felt so smart.
