There’s some great serialized dramas. My suggestion for watching them is to do it all at once in the summer or a period where your schedule dies down a little. It’s a great medium and you miss out on a lot of excellent content by skipping out. Plus, most great drama shows are slower burns so you do have to get past a few slower episodes.
It took me forever to finally sit down and watch Breaking Bad for example, but when I finally did it was definitely worth it. That one is one is probably an easy one to start with because it has a few bottle episodes, and while there’s lots of intricate details, the cast is limited enough where it’s easy to keep up with.
