TV series: You have to skip the first season, it's a slow start and kinda shit. Go back to it later, except for S01E07 and 08, those are necessary to understand the story arc.
In S02, watch E03,04,05,08,11 and 02 in that order. Still drags on but there are some memorable moments. S03 is great. Except for the ending, skip that. And it all goes downhill starting in S04.
But if you stick with it, S07 is bearable again.

Best series of all time!

When does game of thrones get good? Season 8?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

The memes were top tier.

I personally recommend watching all of GoT in order, not because it's good, but because you won't appreciate the flawless genius of S8E3 without the other 7 seasons of context. It's a slow drag through those 7 seasons, but once it picks up in the last 5 episodes, it'll all be worth it, I swear. There's so much character development packed into those episodes that they'll seem like completely different people!

The walking deads first season is great! Not the rest though

[–] silasmariner 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bought and read the first comic, watched the first series, and called it good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

You did well. The first season and every following season are the exact same. Chaos, find safety, traitor/calamity, run, chaos... Repeat

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honestly, if I'm told that I need to watch something in a weird order in order to enjoy it, I just drop it from my watchlist. There's plenty of good media to watch, I'm not gonna do that stupid shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

You're not gonna like Fate then. It is a good series just complicated time-line and a complete mess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, you can just watch said series in release order as well if optimal order is too much work

(but I do get the sentiment. I'm just thinking of Steins Gate. Watching it and then Steins Gate 0 is a perfectly valid watch order, but since Steins Gate 0 expands on a certain event that just happens in 1 episode in the original into an entire season [and adds a whole bunch of narrative weight by doing so] theres an optimal watch order that has you jump to Steins Gate 0 slightly before ending Steins Gate original and then finishing Steins Gate original after you've finished Steins Gate 0)

Does anyone really watch a tv show like that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah. Both can be watched separately, but if you want to watch both, it's nice to do it in chronological order where episodes of the two series are mixed together, as you get some references to the events in the other series.

My friend insists Battlestar Galactica has a crazy order. His partner wants to watch it and he got irrationally angry (at the show, not at her).

I guess she watches it without him now. He refuses to even discuss it. I like to poke at him about it occasionally.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What do they think the order of Battlestar is? I just watched through it again and it's fine as is I don't know how changing the order could help

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I have no clue. I've never watched it but if I did I'd probably just go in whatever order it was put out.

You'd have to know him, though. He gets animated (not angry, just extra) about a lot of little things but big things just roll off his back. I haven't seen him this angry about anything since we were teenagers a hundred years ago. It's hilarious because of who he is.

I think one of our old coworkers convinced him of that back when it was on and he was considering getting into it and he's never let it go.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Not this extreme, but Always Sunny I couldn't get past the second episode. Gave up on it until someone told me that I can just completely ignore the first season and start on season two. Actually got into the show like that, never gone back to try and watch the parts I missed

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're talking about Clone Wars, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought you were talking about Jojo for the first half and was ready to defend part 2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I was thinking of what I was told about TNG and Babylon5 but the episode numbers I wrote are just random.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no shit. that's exactly how everyone talks about the series I need to watch.^^

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

TNG or Babylon 5?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I applied these rules to True Detective and I am now sad and confused.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure i forget seasons 01 - 04 until i'm in 07.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I can get into a series if people say to skip the first couple episodes/seasons because it takes a little to figure itself out (like how you can skip the first season of Parks and Rec and miss nothing of importance), but weird watch order is not something I'll bother with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The only serious I've seen this sorta shit for is BSG and then it was most recommended to just disregard that bs and watch it in release order

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I had to get a watch guide for Supernatural. It had some great episodes and a lot of duds. I still never finished it, stopping on season 7.
