Should I bother continuing? I've been told it's one of those programs that takes a while to get into, is that the general consensus?

I kinda liked the first season, but I got about 6 or 7 episodes into the second and couldn't watch the rest.
Nice double entendre.Originally posted by: LS21
first 2 episodes are really, really tough. 3rd episode you kinda get into it. 4th episode and you're in.
second season, first 2 episodes are annoying
by the 3rd 4th and 5th season i probably finished them each in 1 day i was so fucking hooked

Yes, this. I was a wee bit 'meh' on episode 1, save for the awesome, legendary scene ; but it really, really picks up. If you can skip season 5 (the black sheep of the series), then you're in for some of the best writing and overall production that has ever come from TV with seasons 3 & 4.
Awesome, awesome stuff.
:thumbsup:
