the first episode of a TV series is usually the best episode
not at all
>>219983670Do you just move on to another episode immediately after the pilot?
This is twin peaks.
>>219983670Name one time this has happened
>>219983754lol noif we count the third season then LOL NO cause Episode 8 is the best episode of anything ever, and in fact one of the pinnacles of cinema and art period
quite the opposite really.
>>219983670LexxTwin Peaks Battlestar Galactica (if you count the miniseries)
>>219983670>the first episode of a TV series is usually the best episodeFalse for Death note. Nothing happens in the first episode.Mad men. First episode is the worst and should be skipped. All star trek pilots are a drag.True for Kill la kill. No other episode even comes close in terms of budget. Alien Earth. So many cool ideas set up that get okay payoffs.Not really true:Breaking bad has a decent first episode but the show has plenty good points. Mr robot as well.House of cards, as well.
>>219983670not true at all. in fact first episodes are usually pretty clunky.
>>219983817A series finale is never the best episode.
first seasons are always the best
>>219983670Yeah it's how they hook the goyim into watching all the woke shit they add in later.
>>219983901Six Feet Under is the only one I can think of
op is right about episodic stuff where they put more money and effort in and then have fillerop is wrong about serials where they usually need a season or two to match the actors strengths with the character they're playing, find most sitcoms have a first season that should be skipped on a first viewing>>219983901the shield
actually I find pilots are mediocre all the fucking time, whether its sopranos, a kids cartoon, seinfeld, curb, always sunny etc
Hey here's that character you love by the way he meets an undeserved cruel fate worse than death because david lynch was still butthurt about being cancelled in the 90s nothing personell kid heh
Pilots tend to suck because they involve a lot of executive meddling with a bunch of shit thrown at the wall to see what viewers like before the creators are allowed to do their own thing
the first episode of westworld was the bestit was all downhill from there
most TV series aren't a miniserie or a movie because they hope to collect more shekels despite it being an inferior format for the story being toldtl;dr fuck (((Hollywood))) this is not news, I just need to vent
>>219984018not really true either, it is in some cases but most shows peak around season 2 or 3.
>>219983670Sometimes it's a pilot movie that drags out the story from a crisp 45~ minutes to a sloggy 90~ minutes, and the best 'sode comes a few eppys later.
