I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't like it - it's not for everyone and it's nothing like Orphan Black - it's got some overarching storylines but it's mostly a standard case-of-the-week format.
That said, most fans - like myself - find that it grows on you. I.e., I didn't like it much at first either, and a lot of other fans had the same experience. But Finch's and Reese's characterizations slowly build over time, quite a bit - so much so that when I go back and watch the early eps now, I'm really shocked at how far they've come since then, in a really good, natural way. I wouldn't recommend skipping episodes, because I think it's worth seeing how things unfold, but the show really hits its stride toward the end of the first season.
