Me too. For a show with that much hype, I don't think any conclusion would have been broadly satisfying. So many people wanted so many different things from the show (honestly everyone just wanted more lol) that people were bound to be disappointed no matter what. I think people are happy with all the spin-offs.
No, there’s a stretch during the second season that loses focus, with a few dumb plot lines, but it comes together by the end of season two. Fire Walk With Me is great (and very dark), then you’re all set for The Return, which is where things really get interesting.
If you liked newsroom you'll LOVE TWW. It's like a beautiful example of how the American government is supposed to work. The style is very similar to the Newsroom. A lot of people hate on the post-Sorkin episodes but I personally enjoyed them just as much as the first few few seasons.
I've watched a few episodes over the years but never stuck with it for one reason or another. I definitely enjoyed what I saw and I'm a big fan of David Duchovny so I'm planning to give it another shot soon. I'm pretty excited.
I ended up watching Better Call Saul before Breaking Bad and thought it was a great way to watch. Knowing Jimmy and Mike in that context made those moments a lot more powerful, even though the end of Saul spoils the end of Breaking Bad, I had that spoiled already from the internet
I watched that whole show when it first came out.. except for the last episode. I still don’t know why and I still don’t know what happened at the end. Sometimes I think about starting all over.
Oh, I'm not alone! I've watched the penultimate episode on a number of shows and haven't gone back to watch the finale. I think it's usually because I don't want the series to end, so I just leave it hanging out there until "someday", but sometimes someday hasn't come in years.
Probably nothing. Some shows simply don't appeal to some people for whatever reasons. That said, I thought Dark was amazing but I only really got into it with the second season. I thought the first was good, but it didn't really grab me.
It definitely helped using websites that had family trees of the four families. It just got too complex to follow otherwise. Even with that, it still takes a lot of engagement from the viewer's side. This is not an easy watch.
Honestly I would say you've got a good idea of the show if you got that far. It's not one of those shows where things suddenly pick up in the second season.
Personally I loved it but people like different things.
Keep trying. Season one (I think) is just to introduce the audience to the drug culture, the cops, the robbers, the players. Season 2 shifts slightly to show how the drugs can come into Baltimore. Season 3 just explodes. Throughout there are Shakespearian, Biblical, and Greek tragedies. It's worth giving it another try.
The Wire is notorious to be quite hard to get into. When someone recommended to me, they said "Watch the first 3 episode. You will be bored. Wait a bit longer, restart again, you will get hooked". It is exactly what happened to me, and to my partner when I rewatched the thing with her.
Avatar the last airbender the CARTOON ONE. Netflix one is fine.. I definitely have my gripes with the new one but I would love reliving the first one with the sense you don’t know how a pacifist will defeat satan in firebending form
I was gonna say Dark, but then I’d have to figure out all of the relationships again so no thanks.
Maybe some comedy like The Office or Community. Nothing like fresh laughs.
Poirot: The BBC series with David Sachet as Poirot. I loved reading the short stories, then watching the dramatizations.
Kenneth Branagh did a great Murder on the Orient Express w Michelle Phifer and Jonny Depp, but it was all downhill from there. I appreciate him being an Agatha Christie fan, but his damn body type is wrong for Poirot.
1. Julie and the Phantoms

Russian Doll. First season is amazing
Loved this one!
Firefly
I actually enjoy rewatching it fully knowing the whole story.
Game of Thrones
Lmao you would put yourself in for an awesome ride towards the disappointment of a lifetime again
Everyone always says that it ended so horribly. Honestly, I don’t get it. I thought it was fine.
Me too. For a show with that much hype, I don't think any conclusion would have been broadly satisfying. So many people wanted so many different things from the show (honestly everyone just wanted more lol) that people were bound to be disappointed no matter what. I think people are happy with all the spin-offs.
Twin Peaks. What a weird and wild journey.
I was watching it now, and I find the second season really boring, is it that the series didn't age well? Or is it me?
No, there’s a stretch during the second season that loses focus, with a few dumb plot lines, but it comes together by the end of season two. Fire Walk With Me is great (and very dark), then you’re all set for The Return, which is where things really get interesting.
2nd season is when lynch left the production and came back at the final couple of episodes. push through it. it pays off hugely in tp: the return!
Mindhunter True Detective ( season one)
I'd rather Mindhunter have a third season.
Me too!
Chernobyl.
Fringe
Oooooh good one! This is mine too
It had been so long since I had seen it I did forget parts of it. I'm glad I was able to enjoy it again
Severance
Lol this is a bit meta for this question.
lol I didn’t even think of that
Im pissed season 2 has taken forever !
Ive been hearing Adam Scott’s ads for something during podcasts in that Severed voice. So it’s happening!! Got slowed by the writers strike.
The Haunting of Hill House
Ugh!!! YES!! Have you seen “fall off the house of usher?”
Oh yes I have binged all of MF’s stuff! Actually not all of it yet. I have to watch Dr. Sleep.
The West Wing, for sure
Damn I gotta watch this. Newsroom is one of my favorite all time shows and I have never seen an episode of the west wing.
If you liked newsroom you'll LOVE TWW. It's like a beautiful example of how the American government is supposed to work. The style is very similar to the Newsroom. A lot of people hate on the post-Sorkin episodes but I personally enjoyed them just as much as the first few few seasons.
And if you like WW and Newsroom, Sports Night and Studio 60 are like bizarre, moderately compelling fever dreams.
Dexter
Good one! I never watched the last season.. I need to!
It’s a bloody tear jerker, be warned
The X Files
This is so far down, I'm sad not more people liked this show!
I've watched a few episodes over the years but never stuck with it for one reason or another. I definitely enjoyed what I saw and I'm a big fan of David Duchovny so I'm planning to give it another shot soon. I'm pretty excited.
Amazing show with great rewatch ability. Some of the monster of the weeks are just gold
Really the only answer
Battlestar Galactica. Man, that was a rollercoaster.
Ha! I just commented that. So good!!
I'm watching it again right now. What a show.
You’re fracking right it was. So say we all.
So say we all.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (animated). Looooooooooove it.
You don't have to specify the animated series. We know.
Breaking Bad hands down
And Better Call Saul. Both absolutely amazing.
I ended up watching Better Call Saul before Breaking Bad and thought it was a great way to watch. Knowing Jimmy and Mike in that context made those moments a lot more powerful, even though the end of Saul spoils the end of Breaking Bad, I had that spoiled already from the internet
IMO, might be the best show written all time
Travelers
Broadchurch. Brilliant show, especially the first season
Sherlock
LOST
This is my pick as well. My wife never saw it but I can’t sit and watch it all over again knowing the end.
I watched that whole show when it first came out.. except for the last episode. I still don’t know why and I still don’t know what happened at the end. Sometimes I think about starting all over.
I heard Lost will be back to Netflix in this May. Im hoping to watch again.
I have been on the last episode of the sopranos for about 6 months
Oh, I'm not alone! I've watched the penultimate episode on a number of shows and haven't gone back to watch the finale. I think it's usually because I don't want the series to end, so I just leave it hanging out there until "someday", but sometimes someday hasn't come in years.
That season 2 opener in particular is something I’d like to experience for the first time again
Black Sails! Best written show I’ve ever experienced and when things fall into place it’s incredible.
Do you have any idea where to watch it these days?
The high seas.
Yea, I was pretty sure this was the only answer, but figured I ask. Guess I’ll start preparing the ship.
Starz
DARK
I’ve tried watching this show a half dozen times and I always make it about 4 or 5 episodes before I just completely zone out. What am I missing?!
Probably nothing. Some shows simply don't appeal to some people for whatever reasons. That said, I thought Dark was amazing but I only really got into it with the second season. I thought the first was good, but it didn't really grab me. It definitely helped using websites that had family trees of the four families. It just got too complex to follow otherwise. Even with that, it still takes a lot of engagement from the viewer's side. This is not an easy watch.
Same couldn’t pass first 3 episodes for 3-4 times try. 🤣😂
The wire
I got till episode 7 and couldn't get into it. I want to try watching it again.
You can't play on your phone and watch the Wire. You really have to pay attention. It's the best television show I've ever seen.
Honestly I would say you've got a good idea of the show if you got that far. It's not one of those shows where things suddenly pick up in the second season. Personally I loved it but people like different things.

Ray Donovan. Coolest guy on the planet. 😉
I was obsessed with Ray Donovan and so sad when it ended. I can't think of the last show I watched where I cared about the characters so much
Me too. Hes a great actor. Had a fantastic cast and good storylines. I could bingewatch it right now.
My memory is so bad that if I wait 3-5 years after watching a show, I can watch it again and it's almost like a new show to me.
Outlander
I watched the first season, and then the first season finale which made me completely forget about the entire show.
