I really wish we waited until the series was completed then binged the entire thing because this drip feeding of plot is becoming a chore.
I guess I'm the target audience then, because I'm really enjoying the whole.

It's a very Lynch-light mood piece, it's funny and silly and weird and super meta, and probably at its best when they're insinuating stuff rather than spelling it out.

I think focusing on the idea of "the Real Plot" is misunderstanding the show in a bad way. All the stuff is the real content, the retro sitcom stiff is not "filler" and that combination of retro with a modern grimdark developing continuity is what makes it interesting and stand out.
