Do you agree with the three episode rule? That you should watch

No. My sensibilities are very clear

>>81294353
If I start watching something and it hasn't been on too long I will commit to it. Even if I don't even really like it anymore. You're the Worst is the last one I've done this with.

Yeah. Same with directors. If after three movies I'm not impressed, I'm done with them.

Pilots never count against a show, depends on the eps though for real.

>>81294353
I watched 4 eps of Stranger Things because I was convinced it would get better. The amount of threads on here suggested it was worth watching.

I shoulda followed the rule desu senpaitachi. It was woeful

you should have a good indication if you like it

you hope you'll like it; other people swear it's good

not even hard bud

>>81294353
No. All the warning signs will be in the first 10-15 minutes of the show.

>>81294353
There are shows that start being good after more than three episodes
take The 100 for example, the first four episodes of season one are the most cringe inducing attempt at young adult scifi ever put on screen, but after that the show makes a 180° and it's a nice and watchable after all, with its highs and lows of course, but generally good television (haven't watched last season past the first episode tho)

>watch the first 3 episodes of star wars
>never watch episode 4 and 5
terrible advice faggot

Yes, I live by this rule and try to indoctrinate others into following it.

Why? Because idiots see the first episode and go
>I don't get it, who's that, why did they do that, I'm dropping this
Like shit.

If by the third episode you still don't like something, drop it.

>>81294353
I'm still waiting for the third episode of Keit-ai to finally drop.

>>81295203
Maybe one day someone will find this funny.

nope, if the shows first episode of the first season has an anti-hitler skit or propaganda I drop it. almost every degenerate jewish show does this, two examples being family guy so1eo1 and rick and morty so1eo1.

>>81294353
what about dollhouse? if you only watch the first three you def quit and you're missing on a great show.

I think you can tell in the first 10-15 minutes if you will like something. I wouldn't be able to sit through 3 episodes of Luke Cage or Legion, already tried but my body started seizing up they were that bad

It's a good rule of thumb, I find 3 is the sweet spot for both TV and film but it varies from case to case, sometimes a new season will just go in a odd direction or you simply lose interest

>>81295060
This was on my list of shows to watch but I don't believe you, no shows ever do a 180 midway through their first season

Nope. One is enough. Don't want to waste any more of my wasteless time.

Comedy shows are a bit different.

You can usually tell right away if the writers are funny or not.

I'm proud of this effort.

Most of the time, but sometimes if the shows bad enough you've got to make an exception.

>>81294353
You only need to watch one episode and drop the show. Any show. It shit regardless of whether you liked it or not.

With anime, I look at the cover art and read the summary or sometimes just only look at the cover or sometimes not even that. Then I make a bunch of wild guesses and write an angry tirade about the show, often not understanding the premise and not even getting the genre right. Then I'll spend the next five years complaining about the show at every opportunity. This is the standard nowadays. The three episode rule is really obsolete.

i can touch type like an absolute mad man .. i dont even have to look at what i write on the screen and just type it out by looking at your comment

with that said

""the big enchilada"

>>81298005

it worked

Three episode rule is fine for the individual watching the show, but that by no means give them a basis to judge the show as a whole. At most they are can only judge those 3 episodes before their arguments become invalid.

First post best post, I know what I like and forcing myself to watch more isn't going to make me like it.

>>81294353
Depends how long the show is or my expectations of it before I start watching it
