I thought it was "meh" until the doctor started pitching the main character on his startup during an appointment - then I lost it

  I find a lot of HBO (and other cable) shows start slow and improve once they find a rhythm. Perhaps because they don't need to immediately grab an audience. The show did seem a little slow, but looks promising.

    I agree. Many of the shows that turned out to be my most favourite began with me not enjoying the first episode or two. That said, I did like this one.

I find that's true of most shows, including those on traditional networks. I don't think its really a cable (or premium cable) vs. traditional network issue.

      It is, but basic cable shows are more prone to pull the plug early. HBO, especially, seems to have much more patience. The canonical example would be "The Wire."

    The doctor was played by Andy Daly. You may like his new Comedy Central show review.
