You have to set it up for people who don't read comics. This is the eternal struggle of the show writers. Series that try to go all action without back stories don't develop characters and their show dies. The same reason that many people hate the show (for these back story episodes) is why it really has had the staying power beyond a lot of other shows.
I have not read the comics, so understanding who he is and what their situation is was interesting. I think for a lot of people who are used to the "binge" watching we have become accustomed to it is tough to wait a week for an episode and it all not be immediately relevant. If this was a Netflix series most wouldn't care because they would go straight into the next episode.
