It's worth it. It won't feel like it, but it's worth slogging through Season 1 too, and make sure you see all the movies in the correct order - back in the 90s there was a fan site with a very specific viewing guide but that was the 90s.

There are hints and portents and so forth buried all over throughout the series, going all the way back to the very start, stuff that makes you go WAAAAAT on the second viewing after you finish the series for the first time. The planning was intricate and deftly executed from the very beginning.
