TIL to stop watching a show 3 episodes in, after a coworker called out my 'just one more' habit
Last month a guy at work named Derek asked what I was watching and I said some new thriller show, and he goes 'did it actually hook you or are you just scared of quitting?' That kind of stung because he was right. I used to give every show 3 or 4 episodes no matter what, always thinking the next one would be the one that finally grabbed me, and I would burn like 5 hours on stuff I did not even like. So I tried a new rule: if episode 1 does nothing for me, I am out, no guilt. Cut 4 shows off my list in 2 weeks and started a British crime thing on Sunday that had me up till 1am, so the trade is working fine. Still feels weird bailing so early though, like I am missing some slow build that pays off. How many episodes do you give a show before you call it?
