Reviewers would probably watch the entire season if it was released to them by the studio. But generally the reviewers are watching these shows in advance so the review can be published when the show actually debuts; and for whatever reason only the first X episodes are given to the reviewers to watch and review.

Agreed. GOT is playing in a whole different league. Much harder imho.

I wholeheartedly agree with the US and UK version of this list. IT Crowd i liked when it came out but only hits harder now as a burgeoning old man (i'm almost 40 but might as well be 70 based on my day to day life).

30 Rock is my overall favourite though. That show holds a special place in my heart.

It's been awhile (decades) since I've seen this show... are we talking about the 1-800-Homicide murder? Isn't that the one that Bayliss admitted to in the movie?

Do I need to watch this show again? It'd be good to hear some quality Lincoln Assassination conspiracy theories, haha!

i remember my original watch of this show back in 2006, I had to get the episodes from Netflix DVD Delivery. I was running through the show so fast they throttled me. Then some DVD's arrived snapped in half. The arrrgh matey scene didn't have the whole series back then.

Reno 911 is more of a sketch show in disguise than a sitcom.

That’s fair. I don’t often read reviews anymore so didn’t know that. I just find it strange. It’s like reviewing a movie based on only the first half hour.

Maybe this is why I found reviews generally unhelpful to me in finding things to watch and stopped reading them…

I can see the pitch now "Angel Heart but in Silicone Valley" and not as good.

Got bored after a bit. So maybe it picked up?

Some shows are products of their time and that context matters. You're right that TNG S1 wouldn't have a chance today.

However, TNG miraculously evolved into a consistently excellent and timeless show at the start of S3, even if it started getting a little uneven in seasons 6 and 7. The TNG of S3 and beyond would still be a hit today.
