Resist the FOMO. If episode 1 doesn’t pull you in, just stop. Why waste time giving shows a second chance? You might miss out on something good, sure, but does it really matter? You don’t owe the creators anything, it’s your life.

The only objection to that is that first episodes are usually pilots where they haven't sorted out everything and have to spend the whole episode setting up the premise of the show, not actually doing the show. Episode 2 is a lot more likely to be representative of everything that comes after it. But other than that, yeah, of course, just walk away, hit da bricks, real winners quit.
