I'm kind of the same and opposite of you. I got into the show through fic after I noticed it was a buddy cop show with a huge fandom and main slash pairing, which is my fandom bread and butter so I was naturally onto that like white on rice. After enjoying the fic, I decided I would watch the show, and was disappointed, as you were. But that was only at first. About ten episodes in I started finding Richard Burgi and Garrett Maggart increasingly attractive in a way that I can only describe as stockholm syndrome. And while the show is admittedly incredibly bad, having seen a lot of bad tv in the name of fandom in my time I was able to appreciate the few funny/sweet/poignant/bordering on well written moments the show has even more keenly (just don't make me name any off the top of my head). Plus, I'm a trooper, so I gritted my teeth and got back into the fic.

So, yeah. I see where you're coming from. Maybe give the fic another try though, now you know what you're in for, and see how it goes. It doesn't have a disproportionately huge fandom for nothing, after all. Personally, after a few years of finding myself repeatedly returning to the comforting familiarity of Jim/Blair when I'd left so many other fandoms by the wayside, I suddenly realised The Sentinel, in all it's I'm-embarrassed-I-even-remember-this-shitfest-existed-let-alone-actively-enjoy-it glory had somehow become my favourite fandom.

I mean, J/B as a pairing has everything: ill-matched buddy cop crime-fighting, magical powers, potential for canonically compliant soul bonding, potential for canonically compliant territorial instinct/pheremones made them do it, spirit animals, resurrection-through-the-power-of-loooove, military drama, university politics, police politics, academic/cop/hippie/ex-military-unlikely-love-pairing-yay!, mommy issues, daddy issues, repressed childhood memory issues, repressed PTSD-y issues, shamans... and that's not even starting on the bajillion AUs, or even the occasionally amusing side characters. It's not all bad, by a long shot.

I can still read the fic, actually, that's not a problem, and the premise did have potential. The execution was just so. Bad.
