What are some shows that got you absolutely hooked from the FIRST episode


I feel like a lot of streaming shows nowadays don't get interesting until like the halfway point. You get people being like, "You have to keep watching. It'll get better". Personally, I like giving shows a 3 episode test. If it hasn't sold me by the third episode, then I'm bailing.

And I love slow burn shows but you gotta keep me interested in order to keep watching. I remember not so long ago that the first episode aka The Pilot basically "had to sell you" the show. Most of my favorite shows, like 90% of them, got me hooked on the first episode. Here are some of my faves...

1. Fringe
2. Lost
3. Doom Patrol
4. The X-Files
5. Supernatural
6. The Flash
7. Prison Break
8. Justified
9. Arrow
10. WestWorld
11. The Mandalorian
12. Psych
13. Battlestar Galactica
14. Alias
15. Person of Interest

Sure, some of them went downhill afterwards & I kinda gave up on them but that first episode of theirs is still freaking amazing
