I recently decide to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and I only really started to enjoy the show after season four.

I feel like a lot of dramas like The Americans, Dark, and Narcos take me a little while to get invested but it’s typically only a season.

    Parks and Rec is a great show…If you just straight up skip season 1. Season one did not have its legs and I can’t really believe it didn’t get canceled before season 2.

      Season 1 was charming but it becomes an excellent show when Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt show up. It starts running on all cylinders. (It’s one of my favorite shows.)

      Season 1 is terrible, they were basically trying to do a The Office spin-off but the humor fell completely flat.

      I agree … how did it not get cancelled?

        it was only 6 episodes and i guess had goodwill from the office writers? idk NBC tried to cancel parks and rec all the time at its peak so its amazing how it didnt get instantly canned

      My friend who recommended it to me before I had ever seen it basically said the same, but I loved it from the beginning.

      I still think it’s worth watching from season 1 - there are a couple of pretty good episodes and it sets up some stuff that comes back later on, like building the park in the vacant lot. Plus, it’s only 6 episodes IIRC.
