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?

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months 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!

[–] aiden@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 4 months 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.

[–] Sonicdemon86@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)
[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months 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

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months 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.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months 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.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months 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

[–] mcforest@feddit.de 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're talking about Clone Wars, right?

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

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

[–] rotkehle@feddit.org 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 4 months ago

TNG or Babylon 5?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months 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.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months 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

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months 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.
