I've seen episodes of Supernatural here and there but have never had the time to sit down and watch it from beginning to end. Finally got on Netflix last night and watched episode 1 and was completely blown away about how good it was from the start. I was shocked at how young Sam looked, and Dean was already on point. My GF hates anything scary and had her eyes covered a lot, but confessed that was the best pilot she had ever seen. It's hard to say this objectively, but I can't imagine not being hooked on this show from the beginning without prior knowledge of it.


What would yours be?

Honorable mentions: boardwalk empire - never saw a preview or anything, I just happened to be watching HBO when the pilot came on

Batman the animated series

Workaholics

Maybe not the best, but they appealed greatly to me just in terms of making me want more immediately

I'm in the middle of season 6 right now. Kind of slow but still entertaining. I hope they kill Grandpaw Skinner for selling them out.

The Walking Dead... Arguably the best pilot ever.

You're probably the only person who would argue that
