It's about my life, about how I choose to spend the time and if the show doesn't give me a reason from the beginning, it would be pretty optimistic to think it will at some point later. I'll rather choose another one which does it right, because there's no shortage of shows anyway. Of course I don't mean it must deliver in the first five minutes, but two episodes are plenty enough. If the director/scenarist/whatever cannot build two interesting episodes out of two, that's a pretty bad average and gives me no reason to think they will get better - except the unfounded hope and comparison with whatever unrelated series you mentioned.
