Yes this show is satirical. It's mostly poking fun at things we would think are common sense, but maybe weren't back then. But this show also has alot of depth, love, hate, redemption, and loss. But it still keeps to the sense of being a funny show. It's one of the best shows out there that doesn't take itself so serious and just exists to be entertaining . If you've read this far, just give it a watch and I promise you won't regret it :)
