I've watched a lot of TV and agree w/ this statement. It was phenomenal.

I love sci-fi and tried The Expanse a few yrs ago after seeing reviews. I think I watched 3 episodes and stopped. This makes me want to go back.

Black Mirror - S1E1 startles most. Push past it or skip it.

Succession is pretty slow until ep. 6, where it starts to pick up.

Arrested Development (2003) takes a few episodes to get into, but the payoff is tremendous.

True Detective - watch season 1 then stop.

Thanks for this. Totally agree about The Wire. Took several episodes to get into the Wire due to the density. Ended up loving it by the end. Started season 2 and had a totally different vibe. I think I fell off after 3 episodes. I've been meaning to go back to it.

Reply to comment by KYWizard in The Leftovers, season 2, episode 8, is the weirdest hour of television I have EVER watched. That is all. by TimeTraveler3056

Stylistically it's similar, but The Leftovers is much better than Lost, imo (and I was a pretty big fan of Lost). It's been a minute since I watched the Leftovers, but there's not a bunch of dangling unfinished story threads hanging all over the place, like Lost, if that's what you mean.

There's mystery that's unexplained sure, but not a ton of loose ends (that I recall).

The Leftovers is among my very favorite shows of all time.

Reply to God, Severence is a great show. I’m floored. (No spoilers) by kewizo

I've used the phrase 'season 1 of Severance is one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen' several times over the past year. I just worry about a drop-off.
