Sometimes there’s some elements that really shows the potential and brilliance that is interesting enough to keep pushing forward. So while it might not hit the point of must see TV right away, going in with the knowledge that it hits its stride in season X helps keep things in peespective. When I’m informed of something like that I’m willing to put up with the slow burn if the pay off is to be great, and there’s at least some redeeming qualities about the show until then.

ok but why did you watch 3 seasons of a show you didn’t enjoy

extreme boredom and “everyone seems to like it, I must be wrong” are dangerous bedfellows

That's how I feel about arrested development.
It was just five seasons of watching horrible people be horrible people with like one funny event or joke per episode at best.
I regret the time I wasted watching that show.

It’s not a show I disliked and it wasn’t a show I needed to pay incredibly close attention to so I watched it while I ate breakfast

I think the later seasons are better than the early ones.

I definitely agree. I’m working on season 6 now and really enjoy it.
I’m not too sure why. Maybe it feels a little more structured compared to early settings.
