    I feel like the Righteous Gemstones - for a silly, flight of fancy / action movie-inspired series - depicted it pretty well.

    Damaged people compelled to seek attention and solace without thinking of the consequences. Senseless, illogical, stupid, ill-considered, badly hidden, not even really what any of the people actually involved want.

      I don’t specifically remember the infidelity in that series, but I do remember the characters. It’s very much a “love to hate them” type show like Always Sunny is. Sure, they have genuine moments occasionally but mostly you’re just enjoying watching them suffer and get into antics.
