Starting SG-1 and Season 1 is off to a weak start....

I loved the movie growing up, but never got around to the tv show. I decided I'd start on it and after 3 episodes it seems....simple? Especially after just finishing Emancipation (Season 1, EP 03) hearing the "All Women are Now Free" thing seemed overtly simplistic without addressing the issues the culture actually had or even discussing the difficulties it may have in the future. Is this just the typical first season issues or does the story telling mature? 10 seasons (plus spin offs) is a hefty commitment and I just want to make sure I'm not wasting time with a show that's going to use airtime-period appropriate social issues simplified for 45 minute episodes.
