I am not saying it sucks, but it's not really a show I would want to binge watch. The action is excellent, and I enjoy that it is more brutal than I thought it would be.

It is a bit tedious...I feel like the same thing has happened in all four episodes. Does it pick up at some point in the first season? Or should I bail?

Somewhere around mid-season they find their footing, although I like the 1st half of the season just because he was a vigilante that was going around killing folks (which is unique for a comic book show). The season finale is actually really good, and it has a cool ending that kind of goes in a different path than most comic book shows/movies (I can't explain it like I want because it would be a spoiler).

FYI...season 2 is epic imo.

You're right. I don't. It's your opinion. Not criticizing you for it.

Not yet. Netflix never seems to be in a rush to get the seasons up after they have finished their original run. Heck, sometimes they won't release a season until the next season has already started.

I'm on episode 13 currently and I think it is a good show.

Currently in season:
Fargo
GoT
Louie
24

Currently in hiatus but on-air:
Hannibal
The Americans
Mad Men
Boardwalk Empire
Masters of Sex
House of Cards
Orange is the New Black
True Detective

So it comes in at 13th for me. And with that ranking I am in no way saying it's subpar at all. More of an indicator of how good television is now. The list above is in no particular order.
