The 3 episode rule saved me from dropping The Wire

I kept hearing how The Wire was the best show ever but the first 2 episodes felt SO slow. I almost quit after episode 1 but my buddy told me to stick with it for exactly 3 episodes before deciding. Hit episode 3 and suddenly the whole thing clicked for me. I binged seasons 2 through 5 in like 10 days after that. Has anyone else used the 3 episode rule to get through a slow start?

That clicked for me" - had the same thing with Breaking Bad. Had to restart it three times before it finally grabbed me.

Seems like a lot of effort just to watch a TV show.
