Yeah. That sounds about right.

Date: 2020-04-16 04:37 am (UTC)I'm ... halfway? through Steven Universe S1 and my response so far is mostly "this is cute but i do not understand why it is the internet's favourite thing." I don't object to it, though. So I keep watching it when I need a half-hour increment, and I assume that some overarching plot and character will start to break through sometime in the next few hours.
I dislike on principle "keep watching, it gets so much better!" despite being somewhat guilty of it myself. Like... no thank you, life's too short to watch 8 hours of backstory so I can understand how awesome the next 20 hours are.
(Avatar S1 is merely good; the season finale is great, but then the first few episodes of S2 are back to "good." It's only once Toph shows up that it becomes consistently great. Slings and Arrows is merely good for the first episode and a half, because that's how long it takes them to maneuver Geoffrey into place with everyone else. Leverage S1 is good but notably weaker characterization-wise than S2-4; I have yet to get around to watching S5, as Emily and I were about to start it when we split up.)
