I couldn't make it through the first episode...

Did it get entertaining at some point or was the entire show just "Look how ridiculous and self deprecating our humor can be!"

Yeah it gets better, a couple slow episodes here and there but overall genuinely good

Took like 3 episodes before I started actually getting into it. It's quite lovely once all the players finally meet up.

I like it but it may not fit your taste in humor and if that’s the case it might never get better for you. The humor stays about the same throughout but the story gets better and more engaging.

The first 3 episodes are understandably a bit difficult to get through as a first-time viewer. Even I'll admit that I stopped watching after the 2nd episode because it just didn't seem interesting.

However, 4th episode is where itstarts picking up. You get to see more of Stede's backstory, Blackbeard's introduction, and see how both of their crew members interact with each other.

I'll go against the grain with an unpopular opinion. I watched the first 7 episodes and never liked it. Didn't find it funny or compelling and a lot of the side characters get absolutely nothing to do. Dropped it before the finale.

Same, just wasn’t funny enough either to earn the laughs.

It’s a completely different show later. Basically started as Michael Scott running a pirate ship but as the show develops I ended up really loving it.
