I finished all of the series recently, it's fucking great, a real f'n masterpiece at times. Rewatching the earlier episodes now and i'm noticing all the foreshadowing to plot-twists and hints at people's backgrounds you weren't aware of the first time you saw.
As a tip, don't watch too many episodes at a time. Don't binge-watch it unless it's arcs. Just take 2-4 episodes a day if it's just singles, which i should add, should never be skipped because everything is cannon, including Gintoki's black crew he had before he met Kagura and Shinpachi. Also, it's within the comedic single-episodes the beauty and the heart of the show lies, it's the good times which makes "the real arcs" even better.
It's really a show about the characters though, you will get to love them eventually during the show. If i remember correctly you're right at when it's about to get even better after having done all the introductory-stuff for all of the main-cast and whatnot so it's going into the good stuff soon.
