I don't have TV, so will catch shows later than everyone else of I hear good things. By the time I'd was ready to seek it out, the consensus was to not bother so I didn't.
Avoided Game of Thrones the same way (may still watch it except for the final season some day). Only watched Dexter for a few seasons and quit while I knew I was ahead. Etc.
I do the same with video games.
There's way too much media out there, so why not hold back a bit and wait for the dust to settle?
The hard part is the social aspect of media. It's not always about what's good, it's about the conversation surrounding the things. I get weird looks when I talk about Plex. Also
Game of Thrones is worth watching till the end, just maybe have a beer and your phone in hand for the last 2 seasons.
