You're supposed to kinda hate Q. He plays a recurring role here and there throughout the series, but not a central one.
The first season of TNG is a bit rough; it definitely improves.
Season two also isn't the greatest. But its got some solid stories that do affect things later.
Mostly I just can't stand Pulaski
I don't like her either, but I would say that's not because Muldaur is a bad actress, or because she was a bad character.
For example, her being a dick to Data really helped his character growth. She was abrasive but it really helped TNG grow its beard.

She's a great actress doing a fantastic job of playing a very unlikable character. Except that she's not unlikable in the way a good unlikable character is. She's not the way OP is feeling about Q.
But it's not just the way she interacts with Data, which does result in character growth for both of them. I'm sure they were going for the adversarial thing but it didn't work, with Data or anyone else.
He's like Murdoc from MacGyver. You hate the character but you can sense that he's going to be defeated eventually and it'll be a fun ride getting there.
