My friend told me to skip the first season of Parks and Rec, and I'm glad I listened

Back in 2015, a buddy of mine said, 'Just start with season 2, trust me.' I was skeptical because I hate skipping stuff, but he was right. The first six episodes felt like a different, slower show, and I would have given up. Jumping in at season 2, I got hooked and watched the whole series in like three weeks. Now I give the same advice to anyone trying it. Has anyone else had a show where the start is just not the same vibe as the rest?

Six episodes is a long time to wait for a show to get good.

Honestly I gave up on a show after three once.
