Compelling characters, good actors, interesting topic. I wasn't convinced with the trailer, but gave the first episode a try and got hooked.

What is everyone's opinion?

You missed the point entirely then. It's about growth.

What's the point of watching a show where everyone is always doing the right thing, never making bad decisions and always taking responsibility? There is no plot; no character development.

It's different. If you watch movies from the 80s and 90s, adults usually don't act like young children. They still have character development, but they are already adults and don't need to grow into adults.

Adults have a lot of issues to deal with, and we grow constantly emotionally too. But some parts of us are already grown, or should be, when getting close to 30.

From my point of view, Trump and Musk are still children, despite their age. They are intelligent but immature and childish. So maybe it's just that society today don't care if someone is mature or not. In fact, maybe it's encouraged to be immature. I don't know, interesting to think about.
