I wasn't fond of the first ep of Great News either. I also didn't like The Good Place after its first ep. I'm glad I stuck with both, though.
Momo, I'm not sure how you managed to missed what's awesome about Travelers. I was caught immediately, and pretty swept up through the end of s2. I'm not sure how I feel about s3 yet, as they've rolled back some stuff that would have consequences, or at least appear to be doing so. But it's still my jam, so I'll keep with it.
