if you have (seen) Ghosts

I've started trying to watch the BBC comedy Ghosts. (Which, yes, just ended, and it was people talking about how good the finale was that got me interested. OFMD S2 has reaffirmed my sense that I'm better off fannishly with closed canons.)

Anyway, I'm most of the way through S1, but I'm finding the repeated instances of "the ghosts cause Alison to make a fool of herself in public" pretty hard to take. Does this become less of a thing as the show goes on? I really like all the characters and I want to see what happens, but my secondhand embarrassment is literally painful. (Plus, there's so much potential in the show's premise and I'm already bored of seeing it wasted on the same joke again and again.)

Please advise!
