    The same should be done for IMDB if anyone can be bothered. I see so much of this for shitty Netflix series. ‘The first episodes kind of suck but it gets better.’ 10/10

    -_-

      Protip: any TV shows with a boring 1st episode is only going to get worse

        I disagree. Star Trek: The Next Generation takes almost 2 seasons to get good. Perhaps TNG is an exception though, not the rule.

          You mean Tahsa Yar had to die amd Riker’s beard. For some reason those were the things the show needed to be good.

        Bojack Horseman is the exception to this. First season feels like a mediocre Family Guy-type show, then after that it’s just banger after banger.
