Took me a few episodes to find the timing of jokes, but after settling in I really enjoyed it. Especially once his addictions became a thing.

And frankly, it usually succeeded for me.
Then again, I'm way older than you, have kids, and have been divorced, so perhaps the heartstrings were a little easier to pluck in my case.

"hey boomers, you sick of your millennial child always asking for a ride or to borrow your car? buy em this and you'll never hear from them again"
"the brakes do work, but i need a good 800ft to stop at 25mph"
"don't brake too hard on the interstate. unless you wanna see the other side of the concrete barrier."
"you hear that slapping timing chain? that's how you know it's working. eat your heart out General Motors"

Don't listen to MattJohn. There's genuine insight in a lot of it. That said, every show that tries to be genuine about human condition/relationship stuff is going to seem pretentious to someone, so your mileage may vary.

Hard to answer, depends on what you don't get about it.
It's simultaneously very silly and very subtle, very grown-up, even if that grown-up stuff will come in a scene immediately after something totally absurd. You probably need to buy into the world a little to get the most out of it, though, since the premise alone is pretty out there.
Personally, I loved it, and there are some really great lines and some great concept episodes down the line, too.
