Showerthought: my brother told me to skip the first 4 episodes of that hype thriller show, and I'm still mad it worked
He kept saying the real story kicks in at episode 5 and those first few are just setup. I fought him on it for a week because who starts a show at episode 5? Then I gave up, skipped ahead in an afternoon, and boom, I was hooked for 3 straight days. Now I can't tell if the show is actually great or if his shortcut just tricked my brain. Do you guys ever skip ahead like that or is that a sin in this house?

So your brother basically handed you a cheat code and now you're mad it worked? Honestly, skipping to the good part is just being smart with your time, and most shows front load a bunch of filler anyway. Your brain got hooked on the actual story, not some trick, so just enjoy it.

Saw a study once that said spoilers actually don't ruin stories, so "skipping to the good part" is basically science backed.
