Ok i’ll admit i never really watched the show that much.
A reviewer on IMDB said the same as me but after reluctantly watching season 2 he said the show got a lot better after the first 5 episodes or so.
I said the same about Deep Space 9 then YEARS later as in just last year i finally sat down and binge watched the entire series.
At the closing of the final episode i was sad to see it end.
The first part of season 1 was heavily biased towards setting the background, and for many, a bit slow.
