Friend told me I skip the first 3 episodes of shows and it drives them crazy

I used to always skip the first few episodes of a new series because I thought they were just setup and boring. My buddy called me out on it after we started watching The Expanse together and I tried to jump to episode 4. They said I was missing all the character groundwork that makes the payoff hit later. Now I force myself to watch from episode 1 and honestly it has made shows way more rewarding. Anyone else get called out for bad binge habits by your friends?

Yeah, "missing all the character groundwork" is totally real, I used to think the same way until a show just clicked way harder after episode one.

Yeah, because nothing says character development like getting through the first episode.
