One downside of the golden age of tv is that most of these great shows require a certain amount of emotional commitment. You have to start at the first episode and watch each one in sequence. The more you like it the more likely you'll want to hit rewind and catch important plot points. You'll go over details with fellow enthusiasts, try to predict what's happening and why the characters make their choices.

Basically, it's like being in a relationship.

An example is Better Call Saul. I'm a huge fan of Breaking Bad, so you'd think I'd want to check out its prequel. But that's not the case. I'm not ready for another relationship like that. Breaking Bad was five seasons of devoted watching and rewatching. I'm just not ready for that again. So Saul's on the back burner indefinitely.

What's your level of tv show relationship readiness?
