For me:

-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn’t make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.

    The Good Place - It’s a great show. But the character of Eleanor put me off in the beginning. I didn’t care about her at all. She was depicted as garbage of a person and that made it really hard for me to even just sit through the episodes. Until episode 8, which is when she makes her first good decision. I got really invested in it after that point.

      The Good Place for me too but not the same reason. I just didn’t find it that entertaining, so quit after 3 episodes. But I saw it recommended so much alongside shows I do love and went back to it for a second chance and ending up loving it.

      When I read the premise, I was instantly hooked, on the plot not characters, but eventually characters too. Never even turned it away. I was dealing with an existential crisis at the time and that why I loved it.
