Hunter x Hunter (2011) is considered to be a great anime from the beginning, but it is understandable that not everyone may enjoy it from the start. The series starts out with a lighthearted tone and introduces the main characters and the world they inhabit. However, as the story progresses, the plot becomes more complex and the character development becomes more nuanced.

Many fans of Hunter x Hunter consider the series to start getting really good and engaging around the end of the Hunter Exam arc (episodes 1-21) and the beginning of the Heavens Arena arc (episodes 27-36). The story becomes more complex, the characters more developed, and the action more intense and strategic. That being said, the series continuously builds upon these elements and keeps getting better and better as it progresses, so it's worth giving it a chance and watching a few episodes to see if it's your cup of tea.
