Agreed. I learned this with Black Sails (first few episodes were huh?) and it evolved into something awesome. The Americans as well. I think that’s usually the case with shows that are trying something new and haven’t quite got the formula down. First season of Star Trek was a freak show of theater that somehow, worked. Thrived. And blossomed. Let’s just pray Bob Igor doesn’t get his hands on the franchise.

I now follow this advice with all shows. I’ll give it a full season to see if they develop something I’m interested in following.

Black Sails in particular evolved with the writers' historical knowledge of real pirates as they moved from made up nonsense they read to actual research.

> Bob Igor

Is he the hunchback brother of Bob Iger, Disney CEO?

I plead the 5th and assume no association… the wrath of the house of mouse is real.

Thanks for the Black Sails suggestion. I hadn't heard of it but will check it out. High praise on IMDB.
