Allegedly it does, but I stopped watching about 20 minutes in, myself so I don't really know. I love cult-related stuff and true crime docs but I'm rather picky about it. Garden-variety new age hippie cults tend to bore me. (Where are the documentaries about isolated Appalachian witch cults??)

This was just an average day in the life for half of us at MB as children, I'm assuming.

Well I don't not like it so far; the problem is I'm really desensitized/easily bored when it comes to this particular type of humor since I grew up on it, so, most shows like this don't hold my attention for long. But I'm assuming it gets better based on what you said? (I generally prefer bleak and nihilistic when it comes to my stop-motion tv/film choices) however I've actually met people exactly like those in this first episode so I guess I can't really complain about that aspect.

(Some of these ancient reviews on IMDB are hilarious. "This cartoon is really meant for left wingers like me or maybe atheists or perhaps people WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR." and my favorite: "This show is great, don't listen to the tool, listen to TOOL" ..this is such a painfully 2006 comment)

It comes through in bits and pieces in the first season, more and more in the second, and then starting from the season 2 season finale the entire rest of the show is just bleak and depressing.

"Do you notice changes in your attention, you know, with your illness?"
...
"Huh?"

Heavy interviews but I couldn't help my laughing at that irony.
