Couldn't stand the kid, so I didn't watch SOA after the first 3 or 4 episodes. I think I made the right choice.
you should've stuck with it IMO. hell, 90% of the shows i like started off bumpy, including 'the shield'....after the ending of the first 'shield' ep, i was like "sheesh, how can they possibly make a series out of this?", and shows how right i was, lol...
over time, i re-adjusted my expectations of the show (SOA), and now i just enjoy it as "pulpy" escapism.

I can't understand anyone not being blown away by the pilot episode of The Shield. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Part of my problem with SOA was that I had high expectations - Sutter both wrote a lot of Shield episodes, plus played the best bad guy in the run - Margos.
But, I can't stand to watch Charlie Hunnam another minute - so SOA probably wasn't for me.
As an example from The Shield, as much as I didn't like Shane Vendrell, I don't intensely dislike Walton Goggins. The only actor I came close to disliking in The Shield was Cathy Ryan (Corrienne Mackey), and she wasn't on screen nearly as much as Jax.
