I'm a mere 1 episode in and am trying pretty hard to get into it because of your recommendation. So far I'm not terribly impressed but I know that I shouldn't just bail so quickly. I base this on the fact that when I first started watching Game of Thrones as well as Black Mirror, I initially didn't like them and cut them out of my life.
Later I would return to them based on the urgings of my friends and both of those series are two of my favorites of all times. I guess Black Mirror isn't really a true series, but I think you'll get my point here.

I think I watched the beginning 4 episodes of Game of Thrones and found it boring... nobody died! Apparently, it's good but that was a little slow going for me.
I haven't seen Black Mirror either. Maybe one for the future.

I can't really remember the beginning any more but I think episode 1 is all set in 2077 and if you're like me, the scenes in the future are the worst part of this series.
I'm guessing they've only just travelled back in time so the next couple of episodes should be better.
Continuum is all very confusing and this could largely be my fault. I get that we are running into "ourselves" in the past with these characters but I sometimes feel like they are going back and forth in time without telling the audience or perhaps I wasn't watching closely enough.
Sometimes they will go to a character crying or coming to some sort of revelation and I'm like "who the hell is that?"
I'll get it, I'm just sometimes a slow learner.
If you do check out Black Mirror, which I highly recommend, skip episode one of season one. That one turned me off to watching any of the others but as it turns out the "series" is an anthology and none of the episodes are at all related to one another. They are all free-standing, mostly dystopian tales around an hour long. Very good stuff.

There's less of that after the first couple of episodes. They get into the rhythm of only doing the "flash-forwards" at the beginning so that you start to expect it.
It might not be for you 🙂
One series that we really enjoyed was "Person of Interest". It's quite Sci Fi / AI and extremely well made - great cast too.

I can't skip episodes but I'll definitely bear that in mind and give it a fair chance!
With Game of Thrones, how many episodes did you watch before you started enjoying it? I think I reached 4 and still thought it was boring.

Initially, when I walked away from it because I thought it was boring, I think it was 2 or 3. Then I slogged on because of the insistence of my friend and I really started to enjoy it. But I think it wasn't until midway through the 1st season. It's tough to say, that was a long time ago now!
