Last time I saw it, someone died, franks daughter was on drugs, on the game, stealing money. Some woman was getting a beating from some guy who was abusing her. I dont know anyones life that resembles what goes on in that square! Maybe the idea is that its either a comedy (very dark one at that!) or you feel so bad about it that your own life is a gem in comparison and you feel great! Either way its just mindless sensationist BS.
