Tried watching a show my friend called 'slow burn' and almost gave up

My buddy in Denver kept telling me to watch this show called 'The Leftovers'. He said it was a masterpiece but you had to get through the first three episodes. I tried twice and kept falling asleep halfway through the second one. Finally, I forced myself to watch the whole third episode like he said, and something just clicked. Now I'm on season two and I can't stop thinking about it. Has anyone else had a show that was a real grind at first but then got amazing?

Man that's interesting. So what was it about the third episode specifically that flipped the switch? I've had that happen a few times and it's always something specific - like a character moment or a reveal that reframes everything you've seen. Was it a particular scene or just the overall vibe finally clicking for you?

Bet your buddy was gatekeeping that payoff on purpose lol.

Wait, did the third episode explain something from the first two that was confusing, or did it just suddenly grab your attention with the story?
