I would say definitely not essential, but it can elevate both forming and having one. There should still be something in common to build on.

In general, being a big fan of both Psych and Scrubs on TV, I would say pop culture references elevated both of those shows for me greatly. It feels like theyrey sharing insider jokes with me and I do get them.

“Bricked” in the title feels a bit of a clickbait. In my interpretation if something is bricked, it won’t just start working again after a few hours.
