Yup, it was an era of "broken families" and alcoholic parents which are well characterized in the show. Note that our usual resident TV reviewer posted when it started he didn't like the show seemingly due to that era. I didn't come from a "broken home" but sure had friends that did and wanted to escape that scene (some ran away). I'm sure that some of those might not enjoy revisiting that era. You've seen the show?
