Yes and no. In a grand scale, yes, humans are seemingly at the center of some of the wildest ass decisions wherein alien species remark how weird humans do things. On a smaller episode scale, not as much but sometimes yeah, the plots are varied and it's often an exploration of a concept or a specific existing idea with a twist. If you've watched Doctor Who, it's that kind of "flavor of the week" for some portions or even series', for others it can lean more towards a drama/comedy for a bit and then the run into something like a God or the tackle the problem with male father/son intimacy. It's a fucking trip.

It's not played up for laughs like it is here. That said, I first read this year's ago, and the more I thought about it, the more it fit.
