(21,866 posts)For example, the main character steals a stash from a drug dealer so she can sell it herself, take the money and run off with her small child who she gave up. She steals the identity of another person and meets her lover, and the lover doesn't notice she is not the same person. Not the kind of thing I wanted to spend time with.
So I gave up on it. About a year later, I watched another episode and the plot and the characters gelled and came into focus. It eventually became one of my favorite TV shows.
Later, I found out the folks behind the show were the same as the ones that made the movie Ginger Snaps. I had a similar experience with Ginger Snaps when I saw it years ago. I did not like the main characters and the plot seemed hackneyed. But as I watched, I started to really root for the characters who are developed as the story progresses. It turned out to be a surprisingly good movie.
