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.

I tried watching an episode of Schitt's Creek when it started but it just didn't click for me. My sister convinced me to just watch through the first season earlier this year and it got so much better with each season. So quotable, great comedic timing, character development, loved it.

Going through a similar thing with Star Trek atm. Didn't give it much attention until I passively watched a couple episodes that my boyfriend had on. Hooked on Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks now.

The SNW/LD crossover episode was one of the most anticipated things of 2023 for me and fully delivered, just the perfect loveletter to being a Trekkie whilst also building on a fair number of personal plot developments.

If you've not already watched it I'd check out Prodigy too - it's probably the most underrated Nu Trek series imo being aimed at younger viewers. That said I loved it as an adult (ostensibly) and am praying season 2 gets picked up soon.

As to the topic, I can't think of anything as even series heavy on world building/low on action at the start like Andor or The Expense drew me in from the beginning.

Yeah, I was fully expecting Prodigy to be too childish but they nailed it as an "all ages" feel that even as a miserable bloke pushing 40 I could enjoy. Really hop they get another series as that show is miles ahead of Discovery and is a great entry point for the franchise.
