I would say hating Grey's is valid. I have come to adore it, but I am not above admitting it is trashy and ridiculous. Idk, I like the characters, and the blatant ridiculousness of the plotlines works for me. Like H50, only they actually do a better job of writing human interactions. And squishy organs!
...But yeah. It's a soap opera dressed up, I realize this.
I almost always try to give shows a chance for at least half a season if I think they've got any potential whatsoever. Because yeah, with rare exceptions, shows don't usually start off BANG, AWESOME. But... idk what it was about OUAT's pilot, it... it just didn't do anything for me at all. I couldn't be arsed to care about it in any way. But then other people kept watching and talking about it, including people whose opinions I trust, so I thought I'd give it a few more episodes to win me over. And I think it's silly and heavy-handed, but there's something charming about it for sure.
ROBERT CARLYLE. IF YOU ONLY NEED ONE REASON TO WATCH THIS SHOW, HE IS YOUR REASON. So in loooooooove~! T_T
