I didn't consider it disappointing, I considered it a decent starting point for better seasons.
I was born before we had a 5 minute tiktok attention span and if we weren't blown away by the first episode that meant everything was obviously garbage.
Watch TNG season 1, one of the worst seasons of anything ever.
Of course it was weak.
But there was plenty of room to fix it, they had barely started.
We need to stop killing things when they start because they aren't the next game of thrones s1.
