My sister told us about it. I bought season 1 & 2, my husband and I got barely through episode 2 of season 1 and have not watched it since....... I guess we need to give it another try. Everyone is going on about how good it is. We were not seeing it. Found it boring

I getcha. Personally, I kind of enjoy a little boring. Or, more specifically, a slower moving storyline that is not all non-stop fast-moving start to finish. I like getting to know characters and different subtly nuances and things that sort of draw out.

Since the modern "binge-watching" era, where you can knock out 50 one hour episodes of a show, I've found myself liking movies a lot less. Having a story told from start to finish, intro to problem to conclusion, over the course of 100-120 minutes is way too fast for me. I find the telling of the story to be too direct and lacking subtlety. I like to savor it a bit.

But, I can see how others may want the stories to just "get on with it" and move a lot quicker. To each his own!

That's not a very good effort :)
