I feel the thing that stops a lot of people is that the first season is quite slow. I keep on having to tell people "Just make it to the beginning of season 2. It will be worth it."
That's true. Maybe because it's Vince Gilligan's show and I went into watching it with an "oh, an X-Files guy!!!" mentality, I kind of saw most of the first season as a longform version one of those X-Files episodes where some shat-upon schlub finds out they have some special ability and is poised to go all f*ck-the-world on everyone.
