Yeah, Poppy isn't very fun to watch a lot of the time.

I think the show has a bit of a tone problem, where it seems like it wants us to like and support the characters, but they're all terrible people.

With Its Always Sunny, they're also all terrible people, but you're not meant to like or agree with them. You watch to see them do ridiculous things and be humiliated.

this. it’s a bad show with a lot of good ingredients and i think it comes down to this. the characters are not funny enough to be this unlikeable and the plots and stakes aren’t interesting when you don’t care who wins or loses.

Yes!! Poppy and Ian are incredibly rude, annoying people but the show seems to want me to care about them?
