That’s why It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my favorite show. 100% idiot plots all the way down. They represent some of the worst human beings on Earth, and it’s more fun to laugh at the morons than think about how much they’re fucking up life for the rest of us…
I remember the first season or two that it was out, it was too stressful for me to watch. At that point I had simply never seen any fiction with that level of consistent, nonstop manic trainwreck quality and it was overwhelming at first. Loved it after I acclimated, of course.
I recently watched a miniseries called A Teacher, in which a highschool teacher has an affair with her student and there are actual consequences. With all the people in the epstein files that are escaping justice, it was kind of cathartic to watch a sexual predator be punished for her actions

Seinfeld is also like that. The best ones are where all their individual idiocy ends up making a spectacular fireball of stupidity.
Though I hope Earth gets a better finale.
Wouldn’t Arrested Development fit in here too?
No, they’re not just idiots, and not just “bad people” like in Seinfeld, but powerfully stupid and actively hateful. I just can’t stomach that show.
The only episode I’ve seen is the crossover with Abbott Elementary
I can only watch it in small doses
