I have standards.
The Emmy Awards people would say the same thing.
Breaking Bad has won 6 Emmy's and 6 other awards for a show buried on AMC.
Giving up on a show after 1 episode is not standards. It is lack of patience.
Like I said, to each their own but you are missing out of edgy,suspenseful,quality show just because you gave up on it 1 episode in.
If I did that then I would be done with Boardwalk Empire already.
