da.

her character development is really good, but i completely get why you would be put off of watching the show because of her as she's a really abrasive person. i personally didn't even like her all that much, easily my least favorite character on the show, but i did enjoy the story-structure of her arc because it was done well.

this isn't an endorsement for you to watch though, if you didn't like it after 5 episodes i doubt you'd like it after 13. idk about others but personally whenever i've stuck with a show under the promise of 'it gets better' i don't actually end up enjoying the show and only end up regretting the time i wasted on it.

it doesn't seem like it's for you and that's absolutely okay.

Pretty much this. If i can't find enjoyment in something after five or so eps, I am just not going to waste my time. That should be *plenty* of time to iron out some snags, make a character interesting/fleshed out, etc.

If they haven't managed it after that long...just no. Especially if the premise isn't one i find madly interesting to begin with.

ayrt.

agreed. if it's an hour long show i'll know in the first 3 episodes if i'll want to stick with it, with 20 min shows i usually give it until about episode 4 or 5 and if it hasn't snagged me by then i'll drop it. sometimes i even drop them sooner because the story or the writing really puts me off that badly and i'm not going to waste my time if i'm not having fun.

Yup. TV/movies/books/fanfic...they're for fun, 99 percent of the time. Sure, there are morality-play type things, and 'true life' things that aren't so fun, but mostly i just want to be entertained by a fun fantasy (fun = something i enjoy and is intriguing, not fun = laugh a minute comedy, if you know what i mean).

aryt.

absolutely, and i 100% get what you mean, it's not about finding the situations in the show 'fun' per-se, it's about enjoying or being pulled into the concept/story. and if a piece of media fails to to that, dropping it is 100% the thing you should do. it's media, it's not supposed to be a chore to engage with.
