Yeah I couldn’t stand it, and came to the comments because I was sure it would already be mentioned.

I stuck through season 1, pretending that the character’s arcs were believable and fast forwarding through some of the brutality, then gave up.

A friend convinced me to try again, but the seconds time I gave up after the season with the shots of the pool debris at the start. The payoff on that felt cheap and vaguely a violation of chekovs gun. After that I had to tell the friend who wanted me to watch it that I was done and wouldn’t be trying again.
