You have untold numbers of TV shows at your disposal to watch. Your next binge is always waiting. That can be exciting, but also daunting. Sometimes you aren’t sure about taking the plunge. Is there anything you can do? To try and help, we have come up with some “litmus test” episodes for some of the most beloved, most iconic TV shows. These aren’t necessarily the best episodes, but they are good.
A litmus test episode is an episode that gives you a strong sense of what a show is, but also won’t spoil too much. If you like the episode, there’s a good chance you will like the show and can then go back to the beginning and binge away. You’d never start with a series finale, even if you think it’s the best episode. You may love “Fly,” but that is definitely not the “Breaking Bad” episode to start with. Actually, let’s start there and then get to some other litmus test episodes.
