That’s more a pathology than anything deserving even grudging credit. I’m a bit of a completist. I almost never walk out of a movie (I think I did once, but can’t remember what now) or a play, and once I start a book I finish it. On films and series accessed from home I give myself a little grace at the start to bail, but once I pass a certain point of no return, I ride it out to the bitter end.
With this show there were elements that made me think I would like it, and I was curious if the makers were purposely making characters unlikeable,nor if these were just people that I don’t like (a bit of both it turned out).
