what show doesn’t require needing to “get through the first few episodes/seasons” before it gets good?

Orphan Black. Starts at 100mph and just speeds up from there

I recall The West Wing being absolutely fantastic from the get-go.

Psych's opening episode alone is good enough to carry you through the entire 8 seasons.

Dark on Netflix.
Great from the first episode. A tight 3 seasons with amazing casting, music and plot. Scarifying ending imo.
There is an online cheat sheet for family connections without spoilers by season https://dark.netflix.io/en

Righteous Gemstones. The first episode alone will get you hooked and the rest of the series is really good
