Watched 5 minutes of a show at my brother's place in Boise, then burned a whole weekend on it
Last Saturday I was at my brother's house in Boise, just killing time while he grilled, and he had some show paused on the TV about a chef trying to fix a failing restaurant. I watched maybe 5 minutes and thought it was dumb. Then Sunday morning I was bored, so I put it on while I folded laundry, and by Sunday night I was on episode 4. By Monday I had watched all 8 episodes and was looking up where the restaurant was. Here is the thing I figured out: I think some shows are meant to be caught halfway, not from the start. If I had seen episode 1 cold on my own couch, I would have bailed. Catching the middle of a fight about a walk-in cooler while someone's flipping burgers grabbed me way harder than any pilot would. Bit of a weird way to find stuff, but it worked. How do you all end up stumbling into shows, random channel surfing or does something have to grab you in the first few minutes?
