Yahoo Lifestyle TV Fans Are Sharing Their Favorite Shows That Grabbed Their Attention From The Very Start
With SO many TV series out there, it's not every day you stumble across one that grabs you from the opening scene until the second that finale ends.
Reddit user Ashamed-Economics-20 asked, "What show doesn't require needing to 'get through the first few episodes/seasons' before it gets good?" A ton of TV fans chimed in, and here's everything you should add to your watchlist:
1.Mindhunter
"I will NEVER forgive them for canceling this show."
2.Ozark
"I binge-watch it over and over again."
"It never f--king misses, from beginning to end. A friend forced me to watch it and it's hands down in my top three favorite shows of all time. It's so good. I pressed another friend to watch it forever and when he finally did he said, 'Why didn't you MAKE me watch this show? It's so good!' My guy, I literally tried to bribe you to watch it, this isn't on me."
4.Fallout
"Even people that know nothing about the games have said they enjoyed it."
5.Chernobyl
"My wife and I literally binge-watched the show in one night when we started it. She's usually asleep by 9 p.m. no matter what we're watching, and we stayed up until 3 a.m. watching that phenomenal show."
"It hooks you from the very first episode and just keeps getting better. No need to suffer through a slow start — it's epic right away!"
"The first episode alone will get you hooked and the rest of the series is really good."
8.Psych
"Psych's opening episode alone is good enough to carry you through the entire eight seasons."
"I recall The West Wing being absolutely fantastic from the get-go."
10.Yellowjackets
"Gripping from the opening scene."
"And it gets better with each rewatch."
12.Derry Girls
"Derry Girls 100% hit the ground running IMO."
13.Arrested Development
"I could watch Arrested Development over and over and still find it funnier than the last time. Easily one of the best of all time."
14.Reservation Dogs
"It's great at balancing drama with comedic moments. The main themes are dealing with grief and generational trauma while maintaining relationships in a community and it is a work of art."
15.Fleabag
"Brilliant from the first moment, and never flags."
16.Only Murders in the Building
"I don't watch a lot of shows or TV. That one had me from the start. Great stuff."
17.Archer
"That show made obscure cultural references an art form."
18.Brooklyn Nine-Nine
"That show always has the most perfect throwbacks and cold opens."
19.The Boys
"The Boys really went for it right off the bat. It made sure people knew exactly what they were in for and it never slowed down. I love it."
20.Orphan Black
"It starts at 100 mph and just speeds up from there."
21.Severance
"Legitimately gasped and turned to my husband and asked when Season 2 would air. That was like 1.5 years ago. I haven't looked forward to a season of a new show in a long ass time."
22.Game of Thrones
"That first episode has you walking away saying 'holy s--t, that was just the first episode?'"
"And the last episode has you walking away saying 'WTF was that?'"
