Yeah, they were really going for the B-horror flick satire in S1, huh? And as a vidder I regularly curse that crappy film they used through, what, S3? Ugh. At least they improved the lighting and music in S2 -- thank goodness for Christophe Beck!
Part of me is really attached to the notion of watching the whole thing in order, as unspoiled as is possible, like I did. I'm so glad I started in S1. But realistically I know a major reason why I kept watching at all was because it was a regular thing a friend and I did. If she'd just thrown the first three eps at me and then said, "you should keep watching on your own -- it gets better!" I'm not sure I would have.
(BTW, the icon is in jest! I don't actually think you're a hater. :D)
