Had to pick between two shows to watch with my wife last weekend
We were stuck between starting a new sci-fi series or rewatching an old comedy we both loved. I pushed for the new show, a space drama called 'Orbiters', thinking it would be fun to find something fresh together. After three episodes, we were both just kind of confused and not really into it. Ended up switching back to our comfort show anyway. Anyone else have a new show pick that just didn't work out?

Sometimes a show just needs more time to find its footing. We gave up on a detective series after two episodes, but our friends kept watching and said it got really good around episode five. Maybe Orbiters just has a slow start. It can be hard to give a new thing a chance when you already know you love the old one.

Yeah I totally get that. We almost dropped The Wire after three episodes and now it's my favorite show ever. But the problem with Orbiters is it's a sitcom, not some complex detective thing. Sitcoms need to be funny right away or people just move on. Five episodes is a lot to ask when there's a million other things to watch. I gave it four episodes and barely cracked a smile. That's not a slow burn, that's just not working for me.
