The same five conversations about the same five Gyllenhaal or Vileneuve movies (double bonus points for Prisoners).

The show does move away from the stuff that's putting you off, but never entirely and not too quickly.

The general direction it goes in should be more clear by about halfway through season two. If you don't see any green shots of things that will interest you by episode 6 or 7, you can probably drop it.

Or skip to the last couple of episodes of season 3 and see if you're more engaged by then, as there's a bigger leap forward between seasons 3 and 4.
