The Wire is the same way. Most I've talked to who lost interest never made it more than three or four episodes in which you generally need to the 5th or 6th episodes to really get a feel for the characters.
Then there's shows like Arrow where you spend almost half the first season not giving a fuck for the pay off to really start hitting in the last half to third of the season and just solid after that mostly.

They are two completely different shows that you can like for different reasons, the wire is definitely the better show but someone can still like arrow

Sometimes I like fluff. It's light it's and it can be fun. Everything can't be all Breaking Bad, The Wire, and the first season of Carnivale or the Sorpranos. I wish it could but a break from it from time to time is nice. I watched the first two episodes of Scream Queens last night and fuck was that refreshing.

Or Agents of Shield where it didn't really go off until it synced the Captain America 2 towards the latter half of the season.

Yeah. Still slowly working through season 1. I started it a year ago...
