You will at most see 2-3 satellites from the whole Starlink constalation and only if you take a lot of care where you look and when.
Most people will never even notice those satellites.

Based on just that initial batch, he estimated that at a latitude of 52 degrees north (about where London is located), there will be 84 Starlink satellites above the horizon at all times. And for many hours around dusk, dawn, and in the nighttime during summer, 15 of those satellites would be visible in the sky at all times, about 30 degrees above the horizon."
