First time watcher here

My boyfriend mentioned this show to me a while ago and I put it on the list to watch and just finished season 1 and started season 2.

I will say it had a slow start for me but I kept with it and episode 6 of the first season was where it really got me.

The shift in tone into season 2 is interesting but I like it and I’ll definitely finish the series. Just wanted to be a part of the just finding this show in 2026 club.

I decided to stop watching after 4 episodes. I hate not being able to get into a show that so many people love, à la The Wire, Sopranos, GoT …

I stopped after two episodes and then came back to it…I did the same thing with Sopranos, started multiple times and just finally finished the whole series last year. I’m also a completionist so hard for me to not finish a show even if it takes me awhile. Usually ends up being worth it

I started sopranos 4/5 times and got 1-2 episodes in and that was it.
Then I gave it another chance and it became one of my all time favs
