Idk if I have a favorite TV series but I guess some recent picks would be The Midnight Club and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, both of which are pretty gripping from early on tbh. If both of them took multiple episodes for stuff to start happening and multiple seasons to resolve any plotlines then I would never recommend them to anybody: at that point reading books is more thrilling.
A series serves better as a collection of stories whose whole is more meaningful than their parts.
I think Game of Thrones had lots of intrigue in the first few episodes but I also didn’t like that one because I’m not a big fan of incest, murdering children, discussion of if prostitutes do or do not constitute skill in getting laid, and rape by the ocean. Also, sociopolitical landscapes of medieval Europe in grimdark lack of proper succession contexts.

Tell me you don’t read without telling me.
Depends on the person I suppose.
I thought Game of Thrones was dull to start, but I was glad to have stuck with it while it was airing. It’s a shame it turned into shit though.

But I won’t judge people who do like it.
All you had to do in GoT was make it to the end of the first episode and then you’re like “whoa wait aren’t those two brother and sister?!?”
