Yep, totally get that. They either work for you or they really don't. I stopped watching Bones and Castle because the lead characters didn't work for me.
Buffy was odd. I came into it with reservations...because I despised SMG in All My Children and other things she'd been in -- she always came across as an entitled bratty whiner. But I adored Anthony Stewart Head - who I was following in one short lived tv series after another. After a bit SMG grew on me...and I forgot her previous roles. It's interesting she'd originally been cast as Cordy, because, that fit her previous roles - the brat. The change in casting probably saved her career in some regards. So that's an example of an actor initially turning me off, but the character they are playing winning me over. While with Bones - it was both the lead actress and the role, couldn't get past either.
I can't say I'm in love with Agent Carter...very ambivalent about it. I enjoy it. But if it disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't notice. ;-)
