I find his flat really weird, I understand New York is expensive but should he really be living in such a cramped apartment with his daughter sharing his room? Hard to imagine he can't afford something even a bit bigger. And did he ever clean up that blood stain
A lot of them live in extremely open-plan places.
Same in a lot of these shows actually - in Greys Anatomy, Carev was living in a fecking hovel of a bedsit/loft thing when he was head of department
and Jo even went on to share the space with another doctor
These are relatively high earners!
In NA I think Iggy's house and Bloom's spacious apartment are more realistic (although I think we're supposed to think she can only afford it as she has family money)
