I hated the original so the follow-up doesn't appeal to me.

Seasons 1-4 ranged from okay to great. The episodes are pretty inconsistent in quality, though it's at least consistently "not bad".

Season 5 has been consistently amazing.

The first four aren't serialized, so you really don't need to watch every single episode. If I felt like putting in the effort I could make you a list of recommended episodes from the first four and cut your viewing time in at least half.

I watched one episode while I was in the hospital. I thought it was OK but it didn't leave me wanting more. I might change my mind about that since the fans of the show consistently swear that it's one of the best things they've ever seen, something I was a little surprised to see since it didn't seem like a show that could inspire religious devotion like that. Just kind of a fun, road runner and coyote story.

This is objectively false.

The original seasons were great and the newest season has been pretty spectacular as well, just a very different tone than the first 4.

I've never understood how anyone can have an indifferent opinion on something like Samurai Jack. It's so incredibly diverse in its stories, its characters, and artstyles that there's something for everyone somewhere along Jack's journey.

Well I just watched the first three episodes and didnt really like the first one, but hey its the origin story.

The second one was enjoyable

and the 3rd one almost had me falling asleep. I think I'll pay heed to this article as I agree with it on the point it made:

"But you can skip S1:E3, “The First Fight.” It opens with a very cute training montage full of talking dogs, but a huge chunk of the episode is devoted to a slow and repetitive fight between Jack and a horde of robotic beetle warriors. This is something of a hallmark Samurai Jack’s first season: The show’s flare for dramatic staging and pacing is undeniable, but once Jack actually comes down to trading blows with an opponent, the fight scenes are unremarkable.

This improves greatly over the course of the series, and there’s no reason to subject yourself to it now. “The First Fight” ends in the same way every other episode of Samurai Jack ends: with Jack walking off into the sunset, neither further or closer to his goal."

Agreed. They replaced a four hour block of programming to run the latest Rick and Morty episode over and over. Running it once is fine, but more than once is ridiculous.

I know there are shows that always run reruns during that time, but they replaced Samurai Jack and both showings of Dragonball Super.

No. And Gennedy's style looked awful for the first Clone Wars cartoon as well.

You gotta include GRRRRREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS! on the list if you do.
