I was recommended this show by a friend because I like Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows, and I am a little bit past half way through this first season, but I just can't get into it. I constantly find my self being bored by the show and losing focus. The characters are not that well executed (Toma's amnesia seems pointless and underdeveloped) and most of the ideas of the show are interesting in concept but seem to say or do little to keep me interested beyond their initial premises. I have heard good things about this series overall, but I just can't get hooked on it the way I normally do for shows that fit my tastes as "good." Is it worth sticking it out?

Dropped it then, but Accelerator have the most character development and he is a lot more interesting than Touma.

You should at less complete the first season, if you want to watch Accelerator side story.

I'd say Season 2 is better since it builds to something where as Season 1 is world building and character establishment.

Tbh the anime is a mediocre adaptation of a much better light novel series. If you're interested in the themes, the concepts and the development of things with much greater details especially a much better characterization of Touma then check them out! :)
If not interested in reading the novels, then this series just isn't for you and should drop it. Upto you really. Me personally I really enjoyed this show.

it's just a slow series i know but it'll improve by time and it's not that bad if you like clam and action vibes you can still continue with it without a problem and i can tell from episode 10 things become more interesting you just need patience and only patience and i think the characters are interesting but to know more about them you'll need to watch S2 with the spin-offs
