This 100%.

I only have a certain amount of time most nights to watch TV, maybe an hour or two before bed. Unless a pilot is complete trash I'll at least give a show a few episodes before checking out. I'm not going to waste 7 or 8 hours for a show to "start getting good".

I think also streaming services opened the door to a million more options of shows to watch as opposed to 15-20 years ago when it was your standard cable networks and premium channels. So a lot of people's attention spans with "slow burn" shows isn't what it used to be as a result.
