I can kind of see too how people maybe struggled through the first bit of the show, but even episode two picks up a pretty good bit over episode one.
I watched E1 (and maybe 15 mins of E2) last night and forgot just how much happened to start the season..
We get introduced to Flint/the pirates and that whole thing.
We are introduced to Eleanor and the business/trade angle of things.
We are introduced to the whoring (which plays a significant role, especially with Max).
We get to see that Max can and does frick just about everything and everyone she can get her hands on.
We meet John Silver/Rackham/Vane/Anne Bonny and almost immediately get a sense for their personalities and how they operate.
We see Flint struggle with leadership and almost lose it.
We meet Gates and Billy Bones and immediately see his loyalty to Flint tested.
We see Vane already frick shite up when he kills the black pirate and Flint loses the votes that Gates paid for.
We also learn that Vane and Eleanor once were together (or that Vane at least used to love her).
We see a little of the "high society" side of things with the visit to the plantation.
We also learn how much "trust" Eleanor has in Flint when she pays Gates $1k to secure votes to keep FLint in power.
We learn about the Urca gold, which is a main driving point of the entire series.
Rewatching it now, I'm not sure how I was bored by it or thought it was slow...there was a LOT of shite crammed into the first episode, and even less than halfway through the second one there is still a lot going on. I know the show picks up later in S1, but man this rewatch should be fun because I already am enjoying it a lot more than I did the first time around.
I'll at least try to catch up with the first three episodes over the next couple of nights so I can contribute more to that discussion. But if I can find some good, detailed writeups/recaps of the episodes I can always just refresh myself on what happened and jump in that way.

Yea not a whole lot to add to that except Flint and Billy visiting Elanor's dad, him getting shot, and get to see the Captain of the Royal Navy. Things get real with almost every character pretty quick within two episdes.
I actually get what you're saying about Vane's weird body type now I think it's the dreads that throw him off. It's like his head does not match his body. But he's a bad arse for sure.
