I guess I’m in the minority. Most of the time I’ll give shows the full first season, at least for ones in the last decade since they are on the shorter side. Every once in a while I do come across something really bad and do stop after two episodes.
This is my philosophy too. If a show is regarded as amazing, I’ll watch the first season in full, unless I actively hate it.
The impetus behind this, is the understanding that seasons, just like movies, have a series of acts. The first act is establishing characters, the second act is layering conflict, and the third is the payoff.
I would’ve missed out on some amazing shows, had I not pushed through.
