I really wanted to love this show, but I'm just not. I think one of the show's biggest problems (IMO) is that the characters are so unlikeable. Gordon, Joe, and Cameron are insufferable to me. And not in a love to hate them kind of way, but in a ugh go away kind of way. Donna is the only one I don't dislike and that isn't enough. This show needs major changes if it is going to survive IMO. And I am so tired of Joe's speeches. Just shut it, please! I don't know what they are going for (channeling Don Draper or Steve Jobs perhaps), but it does not work and if I were one of his employees, I wouldn't be inspired, I'd be rolling my eyes and tuning him out.
Another pet peeve - maybe someone like Cameron would have been totally okay with Joe being bi back then, but IMO, they did that because the writers were writing from the POV of now and not wanting to be offensive.
