I completely agree. I've run into a lot of people who say something like the following:

> But dude, you just have to get through the first 3 seasons and the show gets so good.

No, I'm really fine not wasting 15-30 hours of my life when there's hundreds of other incredible shows, movies, books, and video games.

Right! When somebody says "You should watch this great new series!" its like they're saying "You should knit this great afghan!" Man-weeks of work. No thanks.
