DS9 really starts to pick up toward the end of season 2. Three very important villains--Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and Founders--were all introduced over three episodes beginning with the S2 finale and into S3. In terms of storytelling and setting up remaining seasons, establishing these antagonists rapid-fire is certainly efficient.
The episode 'The Jem'Hadar' was somewhat worse than I remember. It struck me that the team behind the scenes very quickly dropped the Vorta's telekinetic ability. I don't recall seeing anything like that again.
