For me:
-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn’t make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.
This doesn’t even make sense to me as a question. I don’t know why I would watch hours of a show I don’t like on the off chance it might get better. There is so much entertainment available these days. Why would you torture yourself with something showing direct evidence of poor writing over something that could easily be better just by being ‘okay?’
