There are lots of TV shows that I see mentioned repeatedly that I’ve never seen. Often these shows have ten or more seasons, which can mean hundreds of hours to watch the whole thing. If I don’t have time to start with season 1 episode 1 and watch to the end, what are the 5 episodes I should watch that I would enjoy? People often say things like “it doesn’t really start getting good until halfway through the second season”, so I don’t want to just watch the first 5 episodes and hope that they’re good. (Keep in mind that I won’t have all of the backstory from the previous episodes.)
