He's one of the most hated figures there, since he's the wrong kind of smartarse. He's too smart for his own good 13-something or whatever he was supposed to be at the start of the series. ;P Try it out sometime, just remember that first seasons always suck for the most part, and that it was the 80s.

Season 1 also had my favourite female from it, Tasha Yar the security chief. I took ages to warm to Riker, but there's one episode that really switched it around. Not a Jaime type as such, as he's more responsible and grown up, but after the point of view shift for me, I've quite liked him.
