ITT we ask how many episodes of a TV show we should watch before we nope out

I found it a lot more motivating to watch BCS ‘collectively’ during the final season when people were discussing each week’s episode. Going back to some of the very early episodes that I’d missed felt a bit flat.

How about Jury Duty? I'm in, but my partner wasn't super into it (just the nature of the humor, plus the constant distraction of thinking about how it was made etc). Does it really build on itself or is the vibe pretty much the same throughout?

The neat thing about Vince Gilligan's two shows is that they really do not go as you expect.

Like I got tired of BCS at times but the last half of the last season was totally worth it, and again, confounded what you were expecting.

Jury Duty is kind of the same joke in different iterations over and over again, though the outlandishness gets cranked up over the course of the season.

also Jimmy McGill is a way more interesting and likeable protagonist than Walter White

Jury Duty, tbf, did not need to be quite as long as it is, but it's an incredible achievement imo, both logistically and formally, and I also found it utterly hilarious

If you watch the whole thing, at the end you do get to see a bit about how the show was made, which is INCREDIBLY satisfying

Like I would definitely have watched a 15-minute companion "making of" episode along with every single regular episode. They had no way of knowing how well the show would do so there's no way they would have gotten the budget for that but I bet I'm not the only fan who would have absolutely eaten that up

Yeah I was grateful they spent so much of the last episode on the nuts and bolts, I had so many questions as I was watching

Every episode has a cast/crew commentary extra.

!!!! i had no idea

Jury Duty first half I was loling a ton then it kinda settled into normal funny, prob shoulda been 2 episodes less. overall worth a watch tho.
