I was the same after season 1. Dare i say it, even season 2. I really enjoyed it but i wasn't hooked until season 3, then it became one of my favourites.

It's weird though because when you later revisit those earlier seasons the quality is there, you just didn't fully appreicate what they were setting up.

I'm the same. While i have always loved and enjoyed the show, there's no escaping the fact that those first two seasons were slow af. Like almost taking the piss slow. I'm constantly impressed by how much restraint they showed early on. No fucks given.
