The anger&#x2F;frustration I get. But I find it interesting that it makes you empathize less, where for me it has the opposite effect.<p>Even though the show is obviously meant to be entertainment first, I feel it does a good job to show how frustratingly often the characters&#x27; actions are not a direct result of bad decisions alone, but always at the very least <i>also</i> to do with their lack of education (and &#x27;learned&#x27; self-discipline), random events, precarious and stressful living situations, societal issues, and basically anything else that is &#x27;external&#x27; and by definition not the characters&#x27; faults.<p>And being reminded of that makes me empathize more, despite the fact that I cringe at how stupid so much of the stuff is, and how superficially easy it seems to avoid much of it.
