Just as examples:
- I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
- I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
- Oh, and I’ve never seen the “hawk tuah” video.
The west wing is very good.
Does the west wing get better? Similar to OP I watched the first few episodes and couldn’t stand it. It came off to me like the typical big network show of that time, with unrelatable characters, cheesy dialogue, and cliched storylines.
Yet I’ve seen lots of praise for the show…and memes with Martin Sheen’s character that I like. Would you say there’s a point when the show starts to get into its groove?
Eh, I don’t know. Been many years since and thus I don’t remember many details, but indeed the first few episodes where not very gripping for me, and the whole show started being very good after I had familiarized myself with the cast first.
I would say that the characters and the dialog are the strong points of the show. If that doesn’t click for you, then maybe skip it.
It is in a “typical” Aaron Sorkin fashion, at least from a couple of decades ago as I have not watched modern shows of him like Facebook etc. I did like it. I also liked very much, maybe more, the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip which had similar style and dialogs, which I would heartily recommend to anyone liking the style.
