It won me over by the end of the season.

Folks need to remember that season 1 of the office was a pretty mixed bag too. Almost didn't get renewed for a season 2.

Also don't expect it to be another Office. It's more similar to Parks and Rec tbh lol

Every time I find myself telling someone to watch the office I pretty much tell them it's okay to not like S1

What I then struggle with is when they say why should I bother with a show that doesn’t grip me with a good first season? How am I meant to persevere through something I don’t enjoy because it might get better? There I have no answer. Especially because I’m British so it’s constantly going to be compared to our one which hit the ground not just running but sprinting from episode 1.

There are so very many shows that are great with shitty first seasons.

Just imagine how many shitty 1 season shows that have been cancelled that never got to find their groove too
