I wasn't loving it because of the implausibility, as you said. But when they took the ridiculous all the way to 11 for the ending, it was somehow redeemed for me.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I think that's how it went for me, too, Epic.
Also, I am a huge sap and it consistently plays into that quite effectively.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I couldn't figure out where they were going with the whole thing and I was not happy to have Nancy Grace on my TV, but the ending paid off for me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's the whole Inside Probe/Mom comes back stories. It just didn't like it and instead of thinking it was funny I just felt annoyed.
It was just too much for me. The wacky hijinks are usually the sorts of things that somewhat eccentric people might get up to, but that storyline just strained my suspension of disbelief too far. And I happily watch Glee and Being Human so it's not as if I demand a naturalistic tone in my entertainment.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Caught up with Office last night.
Oh, Andy. Either your Machiavellian brilliance is finally coming to the surface, or you're speeding pell-mell into a world-class nervous breakdown. My money is on both.

Why does it seem like every Glee prom has some terrible pre-teen song (last year was "Friday", this year "Love You Like a Love Song")

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For verisimilitude, is all I can come up with. I'm pretty sure we had a terrible boy band at my prom for real.

Because books.
Prom is supposed to be cheesy, though, even if it's unintentional. Our theme *was* Stairway to Heaven, if I remember right.
The dinosaur pictures were fantastic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Our theme *was* Stairway to Heaven, if I remember right.
Ours was the disco hit "You Can Ring My Bell" which has some merit since it's all about having an orgasm. Go Prom Night!

I'm still pissed that my prom song was some bullshit about friendship, when it was supposed to be "Let's Chill," by Guy. I'm pretty sure the actual theme was "A Night To Remember," which was ironic.
