That was Game of Thrones for me. I watched to first episode, didn’t like it, despite my friends telling me I just have to get through the first 2 seasons and then it’s really good.
That’s not a good show. That’s Stockholm syndrome.
On the flip side, I do feel like this for The Expense. First season felt like a slog, but the rest of the show is amazing. A lot of people love the first season though, so I guess that’s just my preference. I honestly feel the story for the whole first season should have been done in one or two episodes.
Its not like they’re terrible and you need to power through, the early chapters go through arcs pretty quickly, and other than syrup village I don’t think any are really bad, just not quite the peak that justifies reading 1000+ chapters, but if you don’t think by the end of the first 50 or so chapters there’s anything to offer, and aren’t loving it by 100 then its probably not for you.
Like Baratie has some pretty epic battles, really great character moments in orange town, and Arlong Park is when it really hits its stride.
If somebody tells me I need to power through several bad arcs to get to the good stuff, I kinda just immediately lose interest.
