Eh, I don’t know. Been many years since and thus I don’t remember many details, but indeed the first few episodes where not very gripping for me, and the whole show started being very good after I had familiarized myself with the cast first.

I would say that the characters and the dialog are the strong points of the show. If that doesn’t click for you, then maybe skip it.

It is in a “typical” Aaron Sorkin fashion, at least from a couple of decades ago as I have not watched modern shows of him like Facebook etc. I did like it. I also liked very much, maybe more, the Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip which had similar style and dialogs, which I would heartily recommend to anyone liking the style.

As an adult I have watched some films, not all of them and not sure which, but I still don’t really like it. It’s like a zoo show for kids in space. I really don’t get the appeal for an adult.

I do plan on playing the Kotor games, maybe that would change my mind a bit.

The west wing is very good.
