A question of how long a viewer should stick with a new show before giving up on it—or before it “gets good” is often asked to writer Shirley Li. Most of the readers asked this question since most of her articles focus on TV recaps and binge-watching guides.
This was a good question given that there are a lot of shows available on both television and online. A long-running series can be boring sometimes. It is important to know if a TV show is worth your time.
After doing her research, Li noticed that the fourth episode tends to include major character development, shocking narrative swings, or moments that would go on to define the series as a whole.
Li also mentioned that she confirmed her research with experts. Head over to The Atlantic for more details.
There you have it! Wait until the 4th episode before giving up on a show.
