I wish I could say it gets better quickly, but I didn't actually start watching until it had already been on several seasons (though I think I've seen every episode now due to re-airings/marathons). It does become a pretty good show eventually, but it has a lot of low point episodes scattered throughout. I can't really tell you how best to proceed except to say that I am a fan and the character interaction gets a lot better in later seasons. Particularly after the fourth or fifth time Daniel comes back from the dead.
