I generally like super hero shows, as I enjoyed the shows underlying this series, but I honestly couldn't get through the first episode. I was a little disappointed, it didn't seem like one show, but rather 4 shows in 1. I will try again later, but first go through was a bit rough.

Interesting perspective. I was just so happy that the first one was better than Iron Fist that it may have biased me towards it. It does take a while but it does come together into one story.
I guess it suffers from the same thing all origin stories do... it takes some time to get into the full swing. This is unique because it is the origin of a team.
If you liked the first 4, you should give it another try. It will get there.
The first episode is painful compared to the rest because all you want is the four of them to get together. It is unfortunate they had to spend so much time getting them together but they absolutely had to do it. I do think they actually put too much effort into purposely making the first episode feel like four individual shows. Camera angle, music and general feel was clearly matching with the individual shows. By episode 2 that starts to fade and by 3 it is pretty much gone and the series has a unified feel of its own probably most resembling Daredevil which is good because that is clearly the best of the 4 individual shows.
