Should i keep watching a show i'm not sure i enjoy after a few episodes?
#1
I just started watching a show on a major service, and I'm already three episodes in, but I can't tell if I'm actually enjoying it. The premise seemed perfect for me, yet I keep pausing it to check my phone. Has anyone else had this happen, where you feel obligated to finish a series just because you invested the time in the first few episodes?

Yeah I have been there. I was three eps in and kept hitting pause to check my feed. I felt like I should stick with it but the spark was flickering.

For me the pacing was off and my brain wandered to chores and memes on my phone. I ended up watching other stuff instead.

I tried a rule like one episode a day and see if I mind the second go round. It did not fix the itch but it helped me decide.

The premise sounded perfect yet the show did not land for me. I kept hoping it would turn a corner.

Sometimes I think the real problem is not the show but my energy level after a long day. A small nap changes the vibe.

A friend watched it and they said the first three felt like setup and not payoff. That made me pause and question if I cared about the characters.

I am not sure this is the real problem maybe I am distracted or the night feels too heavy to focus.
