This show has been loved by so many critics. Its liberal message probably played a role.
Whereas I sympathize with the message overall, the way to present it lacks subtlety and depth. Many dialogues are incredibly cumbersome. Most characters don't have believable personalities, they are stereotypical. The acting is very unequal, with some excellent actors but also some who are abysmal.
Everyone is friendly and nice, there's real no conflict, nothing worthwhile. If they did something egoistic this always results to be just a misunderstanding.
The liberal message lacks depth too. Characters live in individual apartments in one of the most expensive city in the world, don't work most of the time but can afford eating out and travelling all the time. But hey, they do have problems: he hasn't mentioned his girlfriend to his parents, what a huge issue! The topics raised might suit a teenage drama, but not a show about thirty somethings in late 2010s.
Not to mention that all these topics have been handled million times in different shows, quite frequently with much more subtlety and humor. Overall, I just can't fathom the hype surrounding the show.
