I fell asleep during a few of the first episodes in season 1, but I stuck with it and eventually got a little obsessed. Season 2 was kind of up and down. First episode of season 3 was a total snooze, so we’ll see.

I’d say try to get through episode 3. I found the first few eps really boring but boy is it worth it!

One of my biggest pet peeves is people saying "this show is boring" or "that outfit is ugly." No, you thought the show was boring or the outfit wasn't to your taste. Blergh!

I would think if you didn't like it by ep 3 then you should abandon ship. Not every thing is for everyone!

If you don’t like it, don’t continue. Simple as that.

But please stay off the succession thread and don’t bash the people who do like it.

I LOVED VEEP and Schitt's Creek, so I'll keep going. Thanks!

Yeah Succession is a comedy. If you don't like it, then don't watch it.

Schitt's Creek was satire and it was pure genius, fun.

This is painfully boring.

So how far into Season 1 do I have to get until it gets better?

Boring to you. I liked it from the beginning so maybe it's just not the show for you?

It gets better. Its really good! I think if you like Arrested Development, Schitts Creek, 30 Rock, Veep, those type of satire shows, you should stick around.

But they are too over-the-top to be remotely believable. It's pretty awful.

I'm trying to get through Season 1 but I find that I'm always losing interest.

Finished Season 1 episode 1 & 2 and both my spouse and I found it awful.

The kids are so unbelievably dumb and act like 7 year olds. The thing is over-dramatic and the cousin Gregg is a mental midget.

Does it truly get better?
