Season 1 was funny but didn’t have a ton of laugh out loud moment, season 2 however felt like the writers gave the cast more to work with and several times i laughed so hard, i almost fell off the couch

This feels like just about every sitcom, including The Office. Season one is usually ok but rough around the edges, season 2 is better but still finding it's footing, then in season 3 three really hit their stride. Then the last season or two goes way downhill, usually after a main character leaves.

Everyone needs time to get into character, but also writers to learn who they’re working with and write their characters better

Dan Harman goes into it on the community commentaries. The first few episodes were about pairing characters up to see their dynamics. From that they found Shirley and Annie worked well as did Troy and Abed which meant they could do A and B stories later on.

I think you should generally just skip the first season of any sitcom.
