Why I stopped forcing myself to finish bad first episodes
My buddy in Portland kept saying the first 4 episodes of a show are just setup, gotta push through. I tried that with a hyped sci-fi series last week. 6 episodes in and I was checking my phone every 5 minutes. Life is too short for that. If a show can't grab me by episode 2, I'm out. Some of my favorite shows hooked me in the first 10 minutes. Why do we act like patience is a virtue when it comes to TV? Anyone else bail early and feel fine about it?
