When I was younger , most definitely . But now that I ' m in my 40 s I ' m a bit more pragmatic in my assessments . Time moves faster now , and there were only 24 hours in the day to begin with anyway , and there is a far greater panoply of entertainment options available now than there were in my youth I cant watch everything , but I ' ll give every new show a shot nevertheless , if it hasn ' t grabbed me by the second episode , I ' ll just abandon it . I ' m in the entertainment industry myself so I do understand that exposition is hard , and you can ' t get people on the edge of their seats instantaneously . But I do also detect a trend of shows jumping the shark earlier and earlier into their cycles . So my advice would be , if you ' re not feeling it , just let it go and try something different .
