They’re not shows I like they’re just widely considered some of the best TV shows ever made. Including The Wire which very famously takes a few episodes to get going. You also mentioned you like Archer which as we all know fell apart in later seasons so clearly you aren’t that concerned about consistent quality.
It sounds like you just aren’t a fan of good TV and have very niche tastes which is OK too.
Fair point. I'm definitely not a fan of what is widely considered good TV. I mostly dislike the shows are are considered "the best" like Breaking Bad or The Bear. Maybe it is specific to the types of shows I like but really good shows start strong because they are original and then keep instead of pivoting to the more common tastes.
(the last 1-2 seasons of Archer were not great but hey, they made amazing show for like 10 years straight. that's still great in my book).
