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.

Parks and Rec is a great show....If you just straight up skip season 1. Season one did not have its legs and I can't really believe it didn't get canceled before season 2.

Season 1 is terrible, they were basically trying to do a The Office spin-off but the humor fell completely flat.

Season 1 was charming but it becomes an excellent show when Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt show up. It starts running on all cylinders. (It's one of my favorite shows.)

I agree ... how did it not get cancelled?

My friend who recommended it to me before I had ever seen it basically said the same, but I loved it from the beginning.

I still think it's worth watching from season 1 - there are a couple of pretty good episodes and it sets up some stuff that comes back later on, like building the park in the vacant lot. Plus, it's only 6 episodes IIRC.
