Vent: my sister said skip the pilot of that baking show and start on episode 3, and now I can't watch it normal
She said the first two episodes are just the judges doing long intros and the actual bakes don't start until episode 3, and she was right, I got hooked on a Tuesday with 6 episodes gone by midnight. Now I'm weird about starting new shows at episode 1, so how do you all decide when to push through a slow start versus just skip ahead?
Did you ever get stuck on a show because someone told you to "give it time" and then it never got good? My brother swore the first season of some detective show was "setup" and I pushed through eight hours waiting for it to click, which it never did. Now I give a slow show two episodes max and then I bail, no guilt. Skipping to episode 3 sounds way smarter than my method, honestly.
