Amazing! Cannot wait for the next season. I also thought the first few episodes were slower than usual, however, it works out great in the end. I don't think it is a waste because in reality those types of challenges and hurdles happen in real life and that depth creates relativity to a lot of fans or otherwise. Those first few episodes of character building was essential to understand and feel each character's growth and the happiness when they see the results of their hard work and dedication. The show took off with excitement after a few episodes and before you know it and itwas awesome.
