I was watching it for Poppy Lee.
Fair, and Charlotte Nicdao deserves more parts in bigger projects, but Ian is definitely, on net, a character we're supposed to root for while many of his real world inspirations are... not.
To be honest the first time I watched S1, I sort of read him as more of a deuteragonist, he's so ridiculous. I only really warmed to him once Poppy does.
There are so many characters with preposterous personalities - him, CW, Brad... for me Poppy's trajectory is the A plot and the testers are the main B plot.
That doesn't mean it's what the writers necessarily intended, though.
