whew, where to start!

never the entire thing. should i watch it all?


well you should absolutely start it. Peak office is up there with peak any sitcom ever. It starts to dip off around season 6, and (trying to avoid spoilers here...) there's a cast shakeup the next season that really just goes off the rails. There's some really solid episodes in the last season but overall the quality of 6-9 aren't close to 1-5. But definitely watch 1-5 then decide from there to keep going or not.

i've also never seen these shows in their entirety: parks and rec


hilarious. Similar to the office. Season 1 (6 eps thankfully) is pretty bad, but 2-7 are top notch. I'd put peak P&R up there with office. Just really solid funny arse TV.

also hilarious. Every character grows on you and alec baldwin is just masterful.

true detective,


watch season 1. Not that many eps so you can knock it out in a weekend. Skip season 2.

an all-time great but hell of a time commitment. You will likely never be invested in teh characters in a TV show like you will with LOST. Has some of the best individual espidoes of TV I've seen.


Ya know I kinda lost interest when I saw how many other shows you listed. Just start with those then we'll regroup in a few months

I agree with all of that except that I would say start it with the intent on finishing it. Obviously it's OP's decision and if he gets bored he can quit at any point, but the show got a lot of hate after _________ left, and a lot of it is unjust IMO. Yes, the quality dropped for a little while, but it rebounds really well and the last season is actually really good. And the finale is straight up fantastic.

One of my favorite shows of all time. No doubt.
