Yeah, it was. I DID make it past the first season. Atlantis had a gift for squandering potential, fucking up promising plot points, and being the little brother yelling "Me too!" as it chased its cool, older brother down the block. There were some good points, like the Jenai, a human government on another planet that took a hardline "We do whatever the fuck we need to, to ensure we destroy the Wraith," and it was nice to see humanity kicking ass without crying about what was morally right... but they did stupid shit that made them lose, necessitated by them being the "bad guys." Aaaand then they trotted out the whole "Replicators" thing eventually, both the Lego Block Bugs from SG-1 which were cool, AND the "Human Form" ones made of nanomachines which always pissed me off because they were lazy writing as shit, except for that ONE who fell in love with Major Carter and then she betrayed him and broke his heart and he came back to destroy humanity.
But hey, at least Atlantis wasn't "Stargate: Universe." The one that shoehorned in unnecessary sex all over the place, tried to smell its own farts all the time, and got itself cancelled JUST AS THEY STARTED DEALING WITH ACTUAL SPACE SHIT AND BROUGHT BACK THE ASGARD. Robert Carlysle was the only reason I kept watching that debacle of a shitstain of a show.
He was in Stargate Atlantis? Man I never made it past first season in that, but it wasn't terrible.
