I'm missing something, that's for sure.

Maybe "serious" isn't the best word. It's certainly not a serious show. But it does present itself as elevated above the standard Toku fare, and it invites you to engage with it on a more sophisticated level than SS or KR. When it fails, it naturally invites more sophisticated criticism.
