> We don’t owe them watching an unspecified number of episodes - hours of screen time - to give them a chance to give us something to like about the characters.
Nobody thinks you owe the authors anything - of course you don’t have to watch it at all.
But if you wanted to try it how few episodes or chapters are you will to give a creative work time to reach a character development?
What's the point of a character development in the first couple of episodes or chapters? That's just churn - they aren't genuinely developing in that time because you won't have given them any time to establish something to develop from. And where do they go from there? Just keep having major developments every episode? That'd be exhausting.
