I love how unflinching this show is about Pearl's issues. She's desperately lonely, she has no idea how to function without someone higher-ranking telling her what to do, she'll lie and manipulate others to get them to act as an emotional crutch, and she has a near-suicidal desire to die in battle to protect someone she loves. The last few episodes saw her finally going far enough to alienate the other Gems, and while they've patched things up enough to function as a team, I suspect we haven't seen all of the fallout yet.

I guess that's my problem with it, it's not fun. Gravity Falls isn't all sunshine and roses either, but I actually like the characters, and they aren't constantly being pricks to each other/other people and crying/being depressed all the time.

I can see where you're coming from. For me, the fact that it's ultimately a kids' show is enough of a restraining bolt--they always have to approach these things in ways kids can understand and learn from. Pearl is never going to reach a point where she has no hope of getting better, because the show uses her as an object lesson for how to deal with negative emotions and stop letting them overwhelm you.
