And yet, Picard. The first two seasons didn't really wow me, and yet the third was pretty good. Quite a few shows take a season or two to get their feet under them. I was a big fan of Babylon 5 and Buffy, both of which had 'eh' first seasons, but really picked up later.
But there are plenty of other shows I lose interest in after watching the commercials.
And I am super-picky, a side-effect of writing and editing at various points in my life, so even shows, comics, movies, games I love have moments that disappoint me. I don't have to love every second of something unreservedly to enjoy it. Indeed, if I'm *not* noodling up bits that might have been more effective if done differently, then that means I don't even care about whatever it is enough to bother thinking about it.
Which is why I'll almost never criticize a reality show or a sport. I don't care enough about them to want them to be better.
