I am increasingly short of patience with new shows. I will try to watch at least a couple of episodes, but also have zero qualms about not even making it through the first episode if I'm just not feeling it. I remember back when Black Sails started, it took me 2 or 3 attempts before I made it through the first season (which I think most will admit is a bit of a slog). I doubt I would do that today. I also used to pretty much stick with a show to the bitter end, no matter how bad the seasons got. Not anymore. There's just too much good stuff out there to waste time with something that's just not working for me.
