I'm loving the show but why is every one of the parents on this show so damn strange?

[What is up with the constant quick micro camera zooms?]

[What is up with the constant quick micro camera zooms?]

So I decided to watch the pilot to see if I like the show. I'm watching on Netflix. Can someone tell me what the hell is up with the constant quick camera zooms?

The zooms make no sense and seems pointless and hell of a lot irritating !
