This doesn't even make sense to me as a question. I don't know why I would watch hours of a show I don't like on the off chance it might get better. There is so much entertainment available these days. Why would you torture yourself with something showing direct evidence of poor writing over something that could easily be better just by being 'okay?'
I'm trying to find shows like the Expanse, which I initially passed over, but then upon the second watch, I understood what was happening. It's one of my favorite shows. I would've been missing out if I didn't give it anotber try. I've read over like hundreds of TV show plots and I'm so picky that if it looks boring, I skip it. I'm trying to see if there was something that I've judge too harshly like the famous phrase "don't judge a book by its cover.
Or another way to phrase it is: "What show's synopsis or first season seems boring/confusing at first, but is actually a good show overall?"
