Reply to comment by [deleted] in Which is worse? A show that is "worth the wait" because it finally becomes good after wasting your time for half the series? Or a show that just plain sucks all the way through and can be dumped early without missing anything? by slicerprime

Slow burn shows where it takes time to get the small or "foundational" stuff across at the right pace, are not a problem. There are a lot of shows like that that I love. It's the ones that are unintentionally crap in the beginning, but are touted because of what they eventually figure out how to become.

IMO, if you expect me to suffer for a season because it took you that long to finally figure out how to tell your great story, then you belong in a lower level of hell than the guy who just wrote a completely bad show people can give up on early without missing a damn thing.
