so i just started watching it, rooting for everyone to be scandalized by each other and ruin each others’ good times. at one point, some new money guy ruins an old money guy so hard, the old money guy kills himself. we’re supposed to be like, “oh that’s awful”, but i was like “lol, lmao.”

Legitimately I'm not convinced that is the isn't the intended way to watch it.

I enjoy the show if I think of the whole thing as a satire. Like the Lord of the manor gets an ulcer so bad he sprays B movies level horror gore all over the fancy party dining room in an episode.

How is that not the product of a hilarious satirist?
