For me:
-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn’t make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.
Took me 3 tries to get past the first season. I recommend people just start with season 2 and then go back and watch season 1 if they want to know why I recommended they start with season 2.
