My friend insisted I watch the first three episodes of Severance before giving up
I tried the first one and found it slow, so I was ready to drop it. He told me, 'Just get through episode three, trust me.' I pushed through, and the end of that third episode completely hooked me. Now I've watched the whole season twice. Anyone else have a show that needed a specific episode count to click?

What's the magic episode count for you, @lee18, and did it stick?

Wait, so you're telling me some shows just need a warm up period? Man, I gave up on Breaking Bad after two episodes because I thought it was boring. Then my buddy basically held me hostage and made me watch the third one, and I felt SO dumb for almost quitting. Now I tell everyone the magic number is three, but honestly my attention span is so bad sometimes I bail after the opening credits.

I had that with The Wire. It took me like four episodes to finally get into the rhythm of it.
