        As others have said, it starts kinda aimlessly. But it gets really good as it goes. It’s my favorite series in the franchise.

        Don’t feel bad … I think I tried starting and restarting it about four times over the past ten years … I only just recently finished watching it about two months ago … and as others have said, it takes a while to get into it but when you do, you really get into it.

        Give it another shot. I hated (hated) hated it in the beginning.

        There are character arcs that will confound you, but there’s others that are humanizing and beautiful.

            I’d use a skip guide if you’re struggling, season 1 is basically just the opening 2 partner and ‘Duet’, which came out of nowhere.

            But it’s so so good when you get into it.

              Personally I like season one a lot but I understand this stance. However, you should never sleep on In The Hands of the Prophets. An amazing ep just as good as duet in my book.
