* AccidentalAesop:
** The first few episodes seem to have the lesson of making sure your new employee in any job, volunteer or otherwise, understands all of the rules. George courts trouble by trying to find ways to not reap, and each time it backfires on her. Rube sitting her down and explaining everything would have avoided this.
** The movie has one: Reggie is dating a guy in secret, and his friends don't know. They belittle her for visiting him in the hospital because she's lower on high school social status. George later tells her she should fall in love with someone who's not a dick, expressing her opinion on the guy in question, but the alternative aesop could be "Don't date someone that wants to keep you a secret because it shows they don't respect you even if they like you".

** In the episode "Shallow End," George reflects on the fact that in a fair world, assholes would finish last. But they have followers and acolytes, over which is a montage of several dictators across the 20th century, starting with Adolf Hitler. The montage ends with, of all people, Donald Trump.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While all the characters are obviously meant to be flawed and rough around the edges, it's hard to have any sympathy for any of the Lass family beyond George. Clancy comes across as kind and emotionally connective, but he does orchestrate the meltdown of his family through an affair with a student the same age as his dead daughter. Joy tries to be a good mother and struggles with a family that seems to despise her, but she is also a badgering, overbearing hypocrite who mercilessly needles everyone else in the family for not living up to her expectations while often portraying exactly the same behaviors she dislikes out of everyone else. Reggie is hurt by the death of her big sister and her parents splitting up, but she's also constantly rude to both of her parents, mouthing off to them and playing off their desire to connect to her to get what she wants, then acting ungrateful when she gets it.
