What show took you the longest to get into? (leminal.space)

I recently decide to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and I only really started to enjoy the show after season four.

I feel like a lot of dramas like The Americans, Dark, and Narcos take me a little while to get invested but it's typically only a season.

I don't blame you. 😁 For me, the turning point was in the very last episodes of season one. Stuff happens that really breaks expectations and sends the story in a more interesting direction. I also remember season 2 being vastly superior.

If you made it through season 2 and didn't like it, the show might not be for you! But if you're stuck somewhere in season 1, it's definitely worth powering through that.

My husband and I are stuck a few.eps into season 1. I can't believe I'm going to try again, lol, but this thread is persuasive. I'm going.to have to read some summaries.of the episodes we've watched to remember where we are.in the story.. (My husband says the only thing he can recall is that dude's haircut.) Third times the charm they say.

I love this. I've rewatched Succession more than any other show at this point. Although it's fun to go back to the beginning and see where each of the characters started, I admit the first few eps of the show can feel slow. But god DAMN the way the characters and relationships are written is so sharp.
